Description

Extremely scarce 1865 Brady portrait of Lincoln’s successor

Original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Johnson as president, by Brady’s National Photographic Portrait Galleries of Washington, signed in the lower border in black ink. A couple trivial creases, light corner tip dings, and trivial silvering to dark areas of the image, otherwise fine condition. Johnson’s signature is rare on its own—he frequently used a stamp due to a crippled right hand—and he is especially scarce in signed photos, this being one of a handful of cartes-de-visite we have offered. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
