Unknown. Photograph. Rare. This is a carte de vista (CDV) photograph of Hon. Henry Wilson, seated. Uncredited, but bears an advertisement on verso for photographic novelty cards like this one.

Henry Wilson was the 18th vice president of the United States from 1873 until his death in 1875 and a senator from Massachusetts from 1855 to 1873. Before and during the American Civil War, he was a leading Republican, and a strong opponent of slavery. (wikipedia). Condition: Even toning with very light bump on left hand corner. Very faint crease mark on back, right corner, almost unnoticeable. A fascinating piece of ephemeral history. Full refund if not satisfied. Like New.
