Fresh from a New York estate comes this collection of 23 Civil War mounted albumin images. The images are on 10 1/2" X 12 ½" album pages, most likely assembled during the Civil War era. There are 23 images, which 22 are identified (One is missing part of the name, but a little research would most probably determine who he is). The group includes Admiral Samuel F. Du Pont, Admiral Andrew H. Foote, Commodore William D. Porter, Rear Admiral John A. Winslow, Rear Admiral John A. Winslow, Rear Admiral William B. Shubrick, Admiral David G. Farragut, Admiral David D. Porter, Admiral Hiram Paulding, Admiral James Smith, Rear Admiral Charles S. Boggs, Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren, Admiral Charles Wilkes, Rear Admiral Charles H. Davis, Montgomery Meigs, General John Wool, General Amos B. Eaton, General Ethan A. Hitchcock, General Henry Halleck, General Lorenzo Thomas, General William Rosecrans, and two identified as Borden and Leander, one image missing past of the name below the image. A wonderful collection. Most of the images are fine, a few have some age. Album pages have edge wear, overall a fine assemblage of Civil War photographs.
