A rare carte de visite (CDV) portrait of William A. Wheeler, the 19th Vice President of the United States under President Rutherford B. Hayes, photographed by Nora of New York City. This elegantly composed CDV captures Wheeler in a formal pose, showcasing his thoughtful expression and distinguished attire. The photographer’s studio imprint, "Nora, 707 Broadway, N.Y.," is prominently displayed beneath the image, enhancing its authenticity and historical value.

William A. Wheeler was a notable statesman and public servant, and this image serves as a significant relic of his political legacy. CDVs of Wheeler are exceedingly uncommon, making this a valuable addition for collectors of political memorabilia or 19th-century photography.
