The same cannon as in the previous posting done in sepia tones to make it look more Civil War-ish.
An OOPS update: As I noted in the previous posting. I've taken a second look at this photo and noticed that it's not a Napoleon. It's either a 6-pounder smoothbore or a 12-pounder James rifle. The James was converted from the smoothbore by cutting grooves inside the tube to give the gun more accuracy and allow for larger loads. I'm not sure if this particular gun has been rifled or not. Sorry for the mistake.
