The Anthonys collected scores of portraits of former Confederate generals immediately after the end of the war, and issued them under their own backmarks. Taylor was a Kentuckian, a Mexican War veteran, and enlisted in the 1st Kentucky Confederate Infantry at the outbreak of war in 1861.

After brief service in Virginia, he transferred to the Western Theatre and was provost marshal of the Vicksburg garrison when it was surrendered July 4, 1863. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs". The seller is "923828" and is located in this country: US.
