Period composite carte-de-visite showing Lee at center, surrounded vignette portrait bust images of Jackson, Stuart, Morgan, Beauregard, Johnston and Longstreet with names under each. Lower left corner of the albumen missing, but the card and printed caption intact. Minor stains, soiling. No backmark, perhaps to avoid accusations of southern sympathies on the part of the seller. No tax stamp, suggesting a date before August/September 1864, and the presence of Jackson would suggest a date before his death in May 1863. These were common “album stuffers” in modern collector lingo, but along with newspaper woodcuts were the only readily images of important figures of the time available to the general public.  [sr][ph:L]
