Description

German military officer, revolutionist, and immigrant to the United States (1824-1902) who served as a Union major general. AQS on an off-white 4 x 2.5 card, signed below in ink, "F. Sigel, late Maj. Gl. of Vols., New York, May 22d, 1888." Handwritten theological quotation attributed to German theologian Rupertus Meldenius, in full: "In necessary things Unity / In doubtful things Liberty / In all things Charity." In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
