Description

Scarce portrait of the Civil War general

Magnificent 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of the Confederate commander in bust-length profile, signed at the bottom of the image in ink, "R. E. Lee." In fine condition, with faint soiling and clipped corner tips. Although lacking a back mark, this pose closely resembles that of Lee's sitting with Matthew Brady in 1866.
