Description
Robert E. Lee: Confederate-Issue "Booted and Spurred" Carte-de-Visite [CDV]. 2.25" x 4" portrait on somewhat brittle mount, embossed Minnis & Cowell credit dated 1863 below. The poor quality of the paper is a reflection of the scarcity of photographic supplies and paper during the war. Two corners clipped, vertical crease running through Lee's arm, loss to lower corners, vertical tear affecting four lines of the embossed inscription. Light soiling or discoloration. Confederate manufactured presentations of this photograph have a low survival rate because of the necessary cheapness of the card mount. The Minnis & Cowell embossed credit is hardly ever seen and qualifies as extremely rare.From the collection of Dr. Donald Hopkins.
