Rare Large Photo "John Brown... His Soul Goes Marching On"

(JOHN BROWN), Large Photo of Radical Abolitionist John Brown, by Alex. Gardner, Washington, D.C., Fine.
Huge rare sepia-toned image on oval sheet, affixed to matboard with gilt border, 17.5" x 13.5", framed. Features a calligraphic inscription in black ink and gold leaf at the bottom: "John Brown, Hero of .... 'His Soul Goes Marching On.'" The vignette image of Brown is slightly faded, and toned and soiled below his white beard; with dampstaining along the matboard margins; chipping along the bottom edge, but not affecting the image in the least.
