RARE Civil War CDV General George B. McClellan & Wife Union Army Commander

  

Offered here is an authentic Civil War-period carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph depicting Union General George B. McClellan seated beside his wife Mary Ellen Marcy McClellan. Subject: General George Brinton McClellan & Mary Ellen McClellan.

Medium: Original albumen print on CDV mount. Mount: Typical period style with single ruled gold border; blank reverse (no photographer imprint visible). McClellan was one of the most important Union generals of the American Civil War, organizing and leading the Army of the Potomac and later running against Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election. Portraits showing him with his wife are significantly rarer than his solo military poses, making this CDV highly sought after by collectors of Civil War photography and Americana. Authentic Civil War-era CDV, not a reproduction. Features a rare personal portrait of General McClellan with his wife. Excellent addition to any Civil War, Union Army, or 19th-century photography collection.
