Carte de visite photograph featuring a small bust-length portrait of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. The albumen print is mounted on a plain CDV card with a double-rule border and no photographer’s imprint visible. The restrained mount style and vignetted presentation suggest a mid-1860s issue, consistent with the widespread circulation of Sherman’s likeness during and immediately after the Civil War.
Sherman is shown in profile facing left, with close-cropped hair and distinctive muttonchop sideburns, wearing a Union officer’s uniform with visible shoulder strap and coat buttons. The portrait is printed as a small central vignette, surrounded by a broad blank field of mount, emphasizing the sitter’s head and shoulders without background detail. The formal pose and uniform insignia align with known period imagery of Sherman as a Union general.
The reverse bears a pencil inscription reading “Genl Sherman,” placed vertically along the right side. No studio imprint or additional printed text is present. The mount retains its simple double-line border framing the image area, with no other decorative elements visible.
