Civil War-era original 2.5 x 4.25 carte-de-visite bust portrait of Garfield in uniform, by an anonymous studio, signed at the bottom of the image in black ink, “J. A. Garfield, Brig. Gen. Vols.” Light scattered soiling, a few trivial border dings and creases, and light silvering to dark areas of the image, otherwise fine condition. Wartime portraits of Garfield in uniform are exceptionally scarce and highly desirable, and this is the only example of such a photograph that we have ever offered. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
