<b>35. WILLIAM T. SHERMAN</b> A great circa 1889 4" x 6" cabinet card signed twice with rank shows the famous general in his full general's uniform with arms folded and looking sternly away from the camera. Published by Sarony, New York. An inscription on the verso reads, in full: "<i>To Miss. Connie L. Mickle with compliments of W.T. Sherman General. New York March 11, 1889</i>". Interestingly, Connie was the daughter of one of Sherman's trusted staff officers, William H. Mickle who served with Sherman towards the end of the war. Very minor foxing affects the field above Sherman's portrait, and one 1/4" crease affects mount, otherwise near fine. Included in the lot is a chest-up cabinet card portrait of Connie Mickle published by Hargrave & Gubelman, New York.<b> $1,500-2,000</b>
