Union general (1816-1894) who led forces at Shenandoah, Red River, and elsewhere. Prior to the Civil War, he served as governor of Massachusetts and speaker of the US House of Representatives. Fantastic 2.25 x 4 carte-de-visite photo of Banks in uniform, nicely signed on the mount in ink, "N. P. Banks." In fine condition. A great, full-length pose of the Union general with hat and sword in hand. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
