A very nice CDV (carte de viste) photograph of General Parke, and his bushy sideburns. He is posed seated in a folding camp chair in uniform. Parke wears an officer’s four-button jacket with general’s shoulder straps. He has an unadorned slouch hat on his head and holds an 1860 Field & Staff sword in his hand. Clarity and contrast are excellent.

The mount has typical ruled border and remains clean and untrimmed. There is a single pin hole at top center. The reverse has his last name in period ink, over the T.M. SCHLEIER, Nashville, Tennessee, backmark.

John Grubb Parke (September 22, 1827 – December 16, 1900) was a United States Army engineer and a Union general in the Civil War. Parke's Civil War service was closely associated with Ambrose E. Burnside, often serving him as chief of staff in major engagements such as Antietam, Fredericksburg, and the Overland Campaign. Parke also held significant field commands during Burnside's North Carolina Expedition, Vicksburg, and the battle of Fort Stedman as well as brief stints in command of the Army of the Potomac. From 1887 to 1889, John G. Parke was the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy. [jet] [ph:L]
