Description: Rare early original vintage Carte de Visite (CDV) portrait of Civil War Union General John Sedgwick Mismarked pencil caption on back reads, W. T. H. Brooks - 10th Corps - 1864 John Sedgwick (September 13, 1813 – May 9, 1864) was a military officer and Union Army general during the American Civil War. He was wounded three times at the Battle of Antietam while leading his division in an unsuccessful assault against Confederate forces, causing him to miss the Battle of Fredericksburg. Under his command, the VI Corps played an important role in the Chancellorsville Campaign by engaging Confederate troops at the Second Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Salem Church. His corps was the last to arrive at the Battle of Gettysburg and thus did not see much action. Sedgwick was killed by a sharpshooter at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 9, 1864, making him and Major Generals James B. McPherson, Joseph K. Mansfield, and John F. Reynolds the highest-ranking Union officers to be killed in the war. Photographer’s stamp on back reads, R. W. ADDIS, Photographer, McCLEES GALLERY, 308 Penna. Avenue, Washington, D. C. This is a vintage photograph and not a copy or reproduction. CDV measures 2 1/2 x 4 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases and is very sharp and has strong tones with good contrast and clarity.
