Scarce original 4 x 6.5 cabinet portrait photograph of William Tecumseh Sherman in uniform, signed in ink, “W. T. Sherman, Dec. 25, 1884.” In fine condition, with trimmed edges. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Sherman stepped down as commanding general of the United States Army on November 1, 1883, and retired from the Army on February 8, 1884. He was living in New York at the time he signed this cabinet photo, which was assuredly presented as a Christmas gift. A decidedly uncommon signed pose of the revered Union general.
