Original turn of the 20th century 8.5 x 6.5 mounted photograph of General Sherman and his staff, taken in May 1865, and affixed to a 14 x 11 mount with a printed caption affixed to the top, implying the photo was made from the original image. Caption reads, in part: “These historic photographs…cost the Government over $20,000, and their value is now inestimable. The few prints extant…are treasures…few persons, indeed, know that they exist.” Nice display piece and in a scarce large size. General wear, including edge wear and notes on back. A superior image taken shortly after the end of the war, and quite possibly one of just a scant number to exist. RR Auction COA.
