Striking 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite photo of Robert E. Lee in an unusual half-length pose, dressed in his Confederate uniform jacket but without insignias of rank, crisply signed on the mount in ink, "R. E. Lee." Reverse bears an affixed two-cent revenue stamp. In fine condition, with a couple tiny edge stains. The portrait is attributed to Michael Miley of Rockbridge County, Virginia, taken in the summer of 1866, though the mount is unmarked. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "MINT 9."
