A stereoview of General George Armstrong Custer at his headquarters during the Civil War. The double-image format offers a stereoscopic view, providing a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The image depicts Custer seated in a relaxed pose, accompanied by his loyal dog lying beside him. Behind him, the scene captures the atmosphere of a military camp, complete with tents and equipment, evoking the daily life of soldiers during the war.
The card is marked "The War for the Union" along the edge and is numbered 2438 on the front and back. The reverse identifies the photograph as "Gen. Custer at his Headquarters" and notes that it is part of the original series taken by renowned photographer Mathew Brady, the government artist. This stereoview, distributed by John C. Taylor, Hartford, Conn., is an extraordinary piece of photographic history, linking the iconic figure of Custer with the artistry of Civil War-era documentation.
