Description

Choice Civil War-era signed portrait of Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant

Exceptional Civil War-era 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Grant in uniform, published by E. & H. T. Anthony from a negative by Mathew Brady, boldly signed in the lower border in dark ink, "U. S. Grant, Lt. Gen. U.S.A." In fine condition. Grant was promoted to lieutenant general by President Lincoln in March 1864 before being elevated to general in August 1866, dating this signature to that period. An ideal example of a Grant carte-de-visite from the Civil War period. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
