<b>124. LEE & TAYLOR</b>
<hr align=left size=5 width=33% color=#778899>The general and his adjutant. <b><font size=-1>Robert E. Lee</font></b> (1807-1870) revered commander in chief of the Confederate Armies; and <b><font size=-1>Walter Herron Taylor</font></b> (1838-1916), a merchant banker who was on Lee’s staff during the entire period of the Civil War, serving as adjutant general of the Army of Northern Virginia when Lee assumed command with rank of lieutenant colonel. Postwar he resumed his banking business; served as Virginia senator (1869-73), and authored <i>Four Years with General Lee</i>. Two separate clipped signatures, “<i>R E Lee</i>” 2½"x1"; and “<i>W H Taylor</i>” 3¼"x1". Both evidence light toning. Taylor’s signature is slightly uneven with ¼" tear with no paper loss at top edge of no affect. Attractively double matted beneath 3½"x5½" printed images, a half-length portrait of Lee in uniform; and the seated general with Taylor and another member of his staff. Attractively matted and contained under glass within wood frame. Overall 17¼"x13". Very nice.
