Sepia carte-de-visite portrait depicting President Ulysses S. Grant in bust view wearing his military coat. The portrait shows Grant with his characteristic beard and composed expression, photographed in the formal style typical of 19th-century political portraiture.

Reverse bears the photographer’s imprint B. L. H. Darby, 46 & 48 St. Charles Street, Pittsburgh, Pa., along with a green 3-cent U.S. Internal Revenue stamp.

An interesting Brady gallery portrait combining a recognizable image of President Grant with period collector annotations on the reverse.
