About This Item
N.p.: N.p., n.y. [likely 1865]. 2½" X 4". Good only. Edgeworn and lightly soiled, with homely crease at upper right corner; mounting traces on verso. Fairly attractive image nonetheless. The wife (1836-1915) of Union General George McClellan was the daughter of his former commander; they wed in 1860 and she bore him two children. This charming steel-engraved portrait shows her seated, half-length, in a large bulky black dress, hand clutching a handkerchief in her lap. Despite hard wear, the image is strong and bold. Uncommon.
