Civil War CDV of General Silas Casey, by E. Anthony, New York

  

Pictured in this CDV view is Union General Silas Casey, the 1826 West Point graduate and Mexican War veteran who commanded a division during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign and wrote a well-known infantry tactics manual. In the image, Casey is seated with his sword resting across his elbow and lap. Only partially visible on the table to his side is perhaps a cap. On the verso is the imprint of Anthony's New York studio, with credit to Mathew Brady's negative.

The image measures about 2 3/8" x 4", with the top corners trimmed from a previous album placement. Please see my other items for more interesting photographs.
