Anthony / Brady C de V Photo, Civil War CSA Statesman, PIERRE SOULE, CSA ALBUM

  

Very Rare ANTHONY/BRADY Civil War Carte de Visite Photo of Pierre Soule, CONFEDERATE STATESMAN From New Orleans. DESCRIPTION: Rare original antique CIVIL WAR Carte de Visite patriotic album photo of Confederate Statesman Pierre Soule. On the back is written in early pencil: Pierre Soule.

Born in France, living in New Orleans, he was quite active in CSA government matters, including some military. This one is particularly nice, having the E.

Anthony backmark, often associated with famed photographer Matthew Brady. Carte de Visite photos were popular during the Civil War, by officers/military men, politicians, as well as by civilians. Carte de Visites were the most popular photo format during the war years, and including famous military and political leaders in your CdV album was very popular...... This was the best way to see them and to collect them, without the many other various methods we have today.

This would look great in any original Civil War period CdV album, especially one with CSA government and military men. Very clear image, excellent condition. A WONDERFUL, IDENTIFIED, CONFEDERATE Anthony CSA photo!!
