Description
Very Rare Authentic T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson Signed CDV, Matthew B. Brady's 1851 Daguerreotype, Retouched during Civil War. We are proud to present to our esteemed customers, an authentic signed Carte de Visite (CDV) featuring one of the most esteemed figures of the Civil War era - the Confederate General, Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. This captivating piece was developed from a daguerreotype that Jackson sat for at the prestigious Matthew B. Brady's New York photography studio in 1851, when he was a recent addition to the Virginia Military Institute as Professor of Physics. This rare CDV provides a unique window into the past, showing the celebrated Confederate general with less facial hair than the full-bearded appearance typically associated with his Civil War photographs. This feature distinctly attests to the origin of the image from Jackson's pre-war period, making it an exceptional piece of history. In an artistic adaptation, the original image went under retouch during the Civil War period, depicting Jackson as a two-star Confederate general. This transformation was meant to appeal to the sentiments of the time, creating a popular CDV photograph that Brady sold throughout the 1860s. Our offered item bears a clear signature of "T.J. Jackson," positively authenticated as belonging to Stonewall Jackson. Over 170 years old, this truly collectible item holds historical significance while capturing the essence of the acclaimed military figure. Please note that this rarity may exhibit minor signs of aging. However, it beautifully reflects the passage of time and stands in overall excellent condition bearing the weight of the history it represents. Invest in this piece of Americana and own a tangible piece of a bygone era. This is an unmissable opportunity for collectors of Civil War memorabilia, or for anyone engaging in the broader study of American history. This item is delivered with authenticity documentation.
