Rare large photo of radical abolitionist John Brown, by Alex. Gardner, Washington, D.C. Oversized sepia-toned image on an oval sheet, 10.5 x 14, and affixed to its original photographer’s mount with gilt border, for an overall size of 14 x 17.25. Features a calligraphic inscription in black ink and gold leaf at the bottom: "John Brown, Hero of [Ossawolamie and Harpers Ferry] 'His Soul Goes Marching On.'" In good to very good condition, with the vignette image of Brown being slightly faded, and toned and soiled below his white beard; portions of the inscription very faded (or perhaps not originally completed) dampstaining along the matboard margins; chipping along the bottom edge, but not affecting the image in the least.
