Unsigned original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Davis in uniform, by Charles D. Fredricks & Co. of New York, dated 1861 in the lower border. Scattered toning and soiling, and mild silvering to dark areas of the image, otherwise fine condition. Davis received his appointment to command the Mississippi State troops a mere four days after resigning from the Senate on January 21, 1861, a few weeks after the state’s secession. A rare and desirable portrait of the soon-to-be president of the Confederacy.
