Nice Image! There is a William H. Purdy who is listed as "Principal Musician" for the 109th New York Infantry. He served with the unit until June 3, 1865, when he was transferred to the 51st New York Infantry - he mustered out of service a few weeks later.

Thanks. This is likely him since it came from a period New York related family photograph album
