Original vintage 2.25 x 4 carte-de-visite seated portrait, backstamped “Published by E.&H.T. Anthony, 501 Broadway, New York, from Photographic Negative in Brady’s National Portrait Gallery,” signed in the lower border in black ink, “U. S. Grant, Lt. Gen. U. S. A.” Written on the reverse in unknown hand, “Given by Gen…to J. T Williams. at City Point, Va., Oct 1864.” Some scattered light soiling, paper remnants to bottom of reverse, small unobtrusive repaired tear along top edge, and a bit of minor restoration to top right of reverse, otherwise fine condition.
Around the time that this photo was signed, Grant was overseeing a series of conflicts near Richmond, including the Battle of Darbytown and New Market Roads, the Battle of Darbytown Road outside Richmond that resulting in heavy casualties for Grant, and the two-day Battle of Fair Oaks and Darbytown Road that resulted in a stunning victory by Southern forces. The Confederate’s eventual defeat in Petersburg in March 1865 is credited with ending the conflict in Virginia. Desirable war-era Grant image signed as the general continued to lead his men into battle.
