Original Civil War CDV Photo & Original Cut Autograph of General C. C. Augur

  
Original photograph of Civil War General Christopher C. Augur by New York photographers E & H. Anthony & his cut autograph from a military document. Besides being a competent, and a well-liked general during the war, he was also known for being at Peterson House when the mortally-wounded Abraham Lincoln was brought over from the Ford's Theater across the street. He escorted Lincoln's body back to the White House and helped organize the troops that pursued and eventually caught John Wilkes Booth. This came from the estate of a Wisconsin collector who spent 50 years acquiring Civil War photographs, autographs, paper, and relics. Please check back here in the coming weeks and months for more. I'm still going through it.

I have a large inventory of vintage paper: Some of it is in perfect shape and some is in rough condition. Things to look out for in the photos are page yellowing, corner bumping, rips and tears, handwriting, etc. -- normal flaws in old paper.

When I photograph a paper item, the first two photos are usually the front and back covers next to a ruler. This is how you can determine the size. Please check this before asking what size the booklet or catalog is. I also try to shoot a photo of the last numbered page in the item so you can know how many pages there are.

Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs. I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws. I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find.

I basically sell As Is. This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations, or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don't tell my kids that please). If there is a problem please contact me via messaging and we will reach a solution.
