Chest-length profile carte-de-visite photo with the backstamp of Boude & Miley, Lexington, Virginia, 2.5 x 4 photo, signed in ink on the mount beneath the image “R. E. Lee.” In fair condition, with scattered holes and abrasions to the image (primarily background) and to mount (affecting top of “L” and the loop of final “e”), chips to edges of mount, and soiling and light spotting. Apart from the losses noted above, the image itself is mostly unaffected and the signature is fully legible. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
