This postwar photograph is of Henry Lawrence Eustis, professor of engineering at Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School (now School of Engineering and Applied Sciences – SEAS) from 1849 to 1862, and from 1864 to 1885. It’s online thanks to SEAS.

A graduate of Harvard (1838) and first in his class at West Point (1842), Colonel Eustis commanded the 10th Massachusetts Infantry on the Maryland Campaign.
