Carte-de-Visite Album. A Civil War-era album with ten cartes de visite of generals. Included is CSA general Huger, along with nine Union generals: Burnside, Banks, Halleck, Pope, Butler, Hooker, Gilmore, Sigel, and McDowell. McDowell has a Brady imprint on the lower front mount; eight have backstamps of Anthony from Brady negatives, and one has a D. Appleton & Co., N.Y. backstamp. The upper corners of all ten have been trimmed to fit into the album and there is some fading and spotting; also, some edge damage to two loose cdvs (Burnside and Banks); the other eight have not been examined out of the album. All have penciled names in another hand on verso or lower mount. Condition varies from fair to good. Should be seen.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
