Description

1862 Brady portrait of the ‘Grand Old Man of the Army’

Original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite photo of Scott seated outdoors in full dress uniform, his sword in his hand, signed in the lower border in black ink. Printed in the lower border is: “Entered according to Act of Congress A.D. 1862 by M. B. Brady in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court at the U.S. for the So. District of New York.” Published by E. & H. T. Anthony of New York from a Mathew Brady negative. In fine condition, with a few light surface marks and a bit of scattered light toning. A fantastic image of the legendary American commander from the summer of 1861, shortly before he resigned his post of Commanding General of the United States Army. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
