About the Item
Grant, Ulysses S.
Large Albumen Photograph
Magnificent large albumen photograph of Ulysses S. grant by Abraham Bogardus.
An unusually large late (circa 1880) photograph of Grant, post-presidency, in formal dress, sitting and in partial profile. Mounted on thick card with the photographer’s credit and address (“A. Bogardus / 872 Broadway, NY”) on matte below the photo.
The photographer, Anthony Bogardus, was a photographic pioneer, described by the New York Times as “the best-known photographer in the United States” in his prime who took “the first photographs of Gen. Grant, Gen. Hancock, Samuel D. Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher and other equally well-known men.”
The engravers Currier
Ives produced an engraving based on this photograph, calling it “the last and best taken of General Grant".
This very large (approximately 10x16 inches; 10.5x16.5 with mount) photograph also appears to have served as the model for a small carte-de-visit issued at the end of Grant’s life.
Albumen print. Contemporary or near-contemporary printing (1880-1890). On original thick cardboard mount with gilt edges. Archivally framed to an overall size of 17.25 x 23.5 inches. Light wear around edges of mount.
A stunning large image in outstanding condition.

Vintage Photo-Portrait Hand Signed by Giuseppe Garibaldi - 1870s
Located in Roma, IT
Signed Portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi is an albumen print realized by Lugi Montabone, Florence 1870 circa.
The portrait is signed with a dedication handwritten by Garibaldi on the lower edge of the cardboard.
Excellent conditions. Cardboard cm 11 x 16, print cm 10 x 14
This unique document of Italian history reproduces a famous photographic portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi, taken by Luigi Brogi at the end of his life. In the portrait the famous hero wears a poncho and a beret, the face looks very tired but retains a fierce expression on the face.
The pose of this photograph, exactly like the clothing, suggests that this photo is a tribute to another portrait made by Brogi but in 1866, in which Garibaldi poses in the height of his celebrity, dressed in the same South American tradition clothing.
The incredibly characteristic element of this exceptional document concerns the autograph: the handwriting part is certainly written by Garibaldi's hand but with discontinuous and angular signs, an evident than tender sign of the senility of the "hero of the two worlds".
Giuseppe Maria Garibaldi (4 July 1807 – 2 June 1882) was an Italian general, patriot, and republican. He contributed to the Italian unification...
