Description

Rare portrait from his days as an Ohio congressman

Original 2.5 x 4.25 carte-de-visite portrait by L. M. Price of Warren, Ohio, signed in the lower border in black ink, “J. A. Garfield, Ohio.” A notation to the reverse in another hand reads, “Fr. Gen. Garfield, Feb. 12, 1876.” In very good condition, with a diagonal crease to the left side and an area of surface loss to the top, which hardly distract from the crystal-clear image and neat signature. Garfield is quite rare in signed photos of any type, and this is one of only two cartes-de-visite we have offered. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
