Here is a fine original Civil War era CDV image of Union General George B. McClella. The face of the card shows the General in his General uniform. The view is from the chest up and he has a very stately look. These were often sold in quantity to people on the home front that wanted to see what the men they read about in the papers looked like. Just below the image it reads "GENL. GEO. B. McCLELLAN". This is the version that was produced by printing the image from an engraved plate and they are known as a "Engraving." The back of the card is unmarked and has a piece of tape at the top. Along the bottom edge of the card, it has the Boston, Massachusetts printer marking of the firm of J.H. Bufford. A neat piece for the price!
