Description

Military portrait photo of "U. S. Grant, Lt. Gen. U.S.A.”

Scarce 2.5 x 3.75 carte-de-visite portrait photo of Grant in his military uniform, one hand in a pocket and the other holding the end of his coat’s lapel, signed in the lower border in black ink, “U. S. Grant, Lt. Gen. U.S.A.” Published by F. Gutekunst of Philadelphia. In fine condition, with lightly trimmed edges. Encapsulated in a Beckett authentication holder. The three-quarter-length standing image of Grant in military uniform was taken by Frederick Gutekunst, a Philadelphia photographer, not long after the assassination of President Lincoln, who promoted Grant to the rank of lieutenant general and commander of all Union forces on March 10, 1864; Grant held the position until 1869 when he took office as president.
