Union Gen Joseph Hooker Group 0f 3 Framed CDVs
<B>Union General Joseph Hooker Group of Three Framed Brady <I>Cartes de Visite</B></I></B></I> <B>Framed Together.</B></I> Each of the three images is matted, with the visible portion of each CDV measuring 2.25” x 3.5”. The entire piece is framed to an overall size of 17.25” x 11”. A brass nameplate underneath the images reads “GENERAL JOSEPH HOOKER / USA 1814-1879”. All three images are the work of prolific Civil War photographer Matthew Brady. One CDV is marked “Brady's National Photographic Portrait Galleries” on the reverse, and the other two are from E & H. T. Anthony from the Brady negatives. The middle image is signed in an unknown hand at the bottom “<I>Genl. Hooker U.S.</B></I>”. All images are in fine condition, with some wear present to the image fields, but not detracting from the overall appeal. The middle image displays some minimal foxing, not affecting the actual image in the center. This is a handsome display piece for any Civil War CDV collector.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Medium (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
