RARE & IMPORTANT CIVIL WAR ERA PHOTOGRAPH OF GENERALS GEORGE A. CUSTER, PHIL SHERIDAN AND STAFF. An absolutely fabulous photograph of (right to left) Generals Wesley Merritt, Philip Sheridan, George Crook, James Wilson Forsythe and George A. Custer reviewing battle plans for the coming days of the war. This imperial platinum print was printed and published by Moses P. Rice in 1892 from the orig negative taken in the Washington D.C. studio of Alexander Gardner on January 2 of 1865, and is illustrated in Katz’ “Custer in Photographs” (K-46). In just a few, but very long months, Custer, Sheridan and his staff would see the end of the Civil War.

SIZE: 14″ x 16″ CONDITION: Very good. Print, attached to poster board, has a few small scrapes in lower right and left corners that have been blended to match background, but do not interfere with the images. 4-37279 JAL (10,000-12,500)
