Exceptional original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait, taken by Vannerson & Jones in Richmond, Virginia, signed and inscribed on the reverse, “For Miss Lucy Blaine, R. E. Lee.” In very good condition, with rounded corners, a few areas of soiling, slightly affecting signature, silvering to the darker areas of image, tiny emulsion tear near right edge, and an internal revenue stamp affixed to the reverse, canceled June 26, 1865. June 1865 is the same month that Lee was indicted for treason, though the indictment was never carried forward. The original recipient of this image was a friend of General Lee’s youngest daughter, Mildred. This image shows three stars on Lee’s right collar, with Lee achieving the rank of General in Chief of the Armies of the Confederate States of America in January 1865.
