Rare Carte-de-Visite of Union General David Hunter by Brady

Carte-de-Visite of Union General David Hunter, Published by E. & H.T. Anthony from a Negative by Brady, NY, Extremely Fine.
This is a very rare CDV photo of a seated Gen. David Hunter in uniform, on gilt-ruled card; backstamp by Anthony. Clipped top corners. A desireable CDV of this Union General, famed for emancipating slaves during the Civil War and his roll in the Abraham Lincoln assassination trials.

David Hunter (1802-1886) was a Union general who achieved fame by his unauthorized 1862 order (immediately rescinded) emancipating slaves in three Southern states and as the president of the military commission trying the conspirators involved with the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
