Fine condition. The clipped signature has been neatly affixed to the card, with light expected age toning and minor handling wear to the original clipping.

Nathaniel Prentice Banks (1816-1894) was a Massachusetts politician, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Governor of Massachusetts, and a major general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. A leading figure in the Republican Party's formative years, Banks commanded Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley, the Department of the Gulf, and the Red River Campaign. Following the war, he returned to public service, serving multiple additional terms in Congress. His career spanned some of the most significant political and military events of nineteenth-century America, making his autograph highly sought after by collectors of Civil War, political, and Massachusetts historical material.
