five original carte de visite (CDV) photographs featuring notable Union generals and military figures from the Civil War era. These period images represent a fascinating historical record of distinguished officers, with some photographs attributed to prominent photographic studios such as Morse’s Gallery of the Cumberland and Brady’s National Portrait Gallery. The lot includes portraits of General Philip Sheridan, a key Union Army leader, and other well-known figures whose legacy is closely tied to the Civil War’s pivotal battles and military operations.
The reverse of each CDV contains period notes, studio marks, and in some cases, rare tax stamps, which highlight the era of production during the Civil War. Notable inscriptions reference the Battle of Bull Run and other military contexts, adding further historical relevance to these images.
