Description
Robert E. Lee: "Blockade Portrait" Carte-de-Visite [CDV] Pirated by Yankee Photographer in Occupied Richmond. Vignetted "blockade" portrait originally taken by Vannerson, but apparently copied by Northern photographers in occupied Richmond. The reverse is inscribed "Genl. Lee/ Harris & Bancroft/ Richmond, Va/ July 4th 65". They likely accompanied the federal "Army of the James" to Richmond. Their business card was noted in The Commercial Bulletin of Richmond as late as November 1865 with a gallery on Broad Street, but they were not listed in the 1866 directory. The last troops of the "Army of the James" mustered out in February 1866. Gold rule borders, excellent condition with glue remnants around the perimeter of the verso.From the collection of Dr. Donald Hopkins.
