Postwar Albumen Portrait of Union Cavalry General,
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Ca. 1880, the subject wears full dress uniform with chapeau and white gloves, cavalry badges on his breast flank a GAR medal with single star on hanger. The officer's left sleeve is wrapped in a mourning band. As such, it is conceivable that the image is associated with the funeral of a colleague or perhaps even that of President Garfield. Matted in gilt and gesso period frame.

SS 12.75" x 10"; DOA 21.25" x 19"

Excellent surfaces and tonal qualities; the frame has areas of loss.

$200 - 400
