Description

John "Jack" Coffee Hays Carte de Visite, circa 1857. 2.5" x 4". A three-quarter seated portrait albumen print of Hays made from an original Mathew Brady salt print of the former Texas Ranger. Hays is seated in a chair wearing a white shirt, black frock coat, and waistcoat. "Col. Jack Hays" has been written in pencil on verso. Published by E. & H.T. Anthony, New York.
