hi everyone. this is an old, possibly 19th century hand-colored photograph i found today. This photograph measures 19"x16". It's framed, but i pulled it out of the frame in the hopes that there might be some information written on the backside. to me the uniform looks Spanish American war era. it has occurred to me that it could be from a country other than the US. i'm hoping one of you military experts might be able to help me with identifying the uniform. any ideas you might have would be appreciated...thanks

Italian Bersaglieri? Their hat is very distinctive

thank you. i meant to mention the hat, but i forgot. i thought it was unusual too. Italian would explain the cigarette also.
