General George Custer Color Tinted Photo Civil War 03110

  

This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image.

By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo.

Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped.

E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come.

Fuji Pearl paper offers natural looking skin-tones, sharp details and beautifully saturated colors. It is strong and resistant to tearing or curling without any additional lamination.

This paper uses a patented combination of film and laminate layers that results in striking three-dimensional images on an ultra-bright background. This paper is truly impressive. Major General George Custer May 23rd, 1865.

Both Custer and his commanding officer, Major General Sheridan, were present at the surrender at Appomattox. Not only did Sheridan appreciated Custer, he was also the type of man who liked to be prepared. After writing a letter to Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, he immediately presented both the letter and "Surrender Table" to Custer.

Appomattox Court House April 10, 1865. I respectfully present to you the small writing table on which the conditions for the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia were written by Lt. Gen Grant - and permit me to say, Madam that there is scarcely an individual in our service who has contributed more to bring about this desirable result than your very gallant husband. Libbie Custer treasured the gift of the historical table which is now in the Smithsonian.

It should be noted that this image does not include the "Surrender Table".
