Notorious and immensely unpopular Union general (1814–1879), Hooker was criticized for his erratic leadership, heavy drinking, poor sense of diplomacy, and the freewheeling atmosphere of his headquarters. Original 2.5 x 4.25 carte-de-visite bust portrait of Hooker in uniform, by an anonymous studio, signed in the lower border in black ink, “Joseph Hooker, Maj. Gnl.” A tiny spot of surface loss to the upper left, subtle foxing to the lower portion of the image, and trivial corner tip dings to the bottom corners, otherwise fine condition.
