Albumen photograph of Civil War general Robert E. Lee measuring. 2 x 3.25" mounted on a cabinet card-sized mount with applied paper label. Details relative to the photographic series are printed on the reverse, including the following: "A quarter of a century has passed away since the sun painted these real scenes of the Great War, and the 'negatives' have undergone chemical changes which makes it slow and difficult to work to get 'prints' from them. Of course no more 'negatives' can be made, as the scenes represented by this series of war views have passed away forever..." Published by John C. Taylor, Hartford, CT. Some staining and a mount hole in top of card. Very Good
