Journalist (1819–1897) best known for his support of Grant during the Civil War and his aggressive postwar political advocacy through the New York Sun newspaper. Original 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Dana casually reading a newspaper, signed at the bottom of the image in black ink, “Charles A. Dana, 1884.” Published by Falk of New York. In very good condition, with fair contrast to portions of the signature against the dark background and significant paper loss to lower corners of the mount. RR Auction COA.
