Description: Rare, FANCY PATRIOTIC Civil War Carte de Visite Photo of Abraham Lincoln DESCRIPTION: Particularly nice, original rare CIVIL WAR Carte de Visite of Pres. Abraham Lincoln as shown. One of the nicest I have ever seen, very patriotic and fancy with embossed, 3-dimensional motif of eagle w/arrows, flags, cannon & military, etc. I have never seen such a nice version. Providence R.I. backmark for Salisbury Bros, manufacturers of Gold & Gold Plated Jewelry.Carte de Visite photos were popular during the Civil War, both by officers and military men, and also by civilians. Carte de Visites were the most popular format during the war years, and including military and political leaders in your CdV album was very popular. They were celebrities and this was the best way to collect them, without having the various other methods we have today. So this is an especially great addition to an album, and one not often seen.THIS ONE IS A PARTICULARLY NICE EXAMPLE. IDENTIFIED ON THE FRONT IN PERIOD PENCIL HANDWRITING, "L.S. Moe".Standard CdV measurements. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS!!!Please see my auction list for other interesting items!! SHIPPING TERMS:Buyer pays $7.00 shipping in the US.
