Two extremely important photos from the Civil War of the Sons of Vice
President Hannibal Hamlin from his personal House! Shown are the
two albumens in their original frames of Brigadier General Cyrus
Hamlin and Bvt Brigadier General Charles Hamlin. The Civil War period
albumens are roughly 9 X 12in framed in their original period frames
and were kept by the Hamlin family from the war till earlier this year
when the contents of the House were sold at auction. These photos
were the personal images of the Vice President himself. Cyrus served
as an Aide De Camp on the staff of Fremont, Colonel of the 8th USCT
and was made a Brigadier General in 1864 by Lincoln. He commanded
Port Hudson after its Capture by Bank's army. Staying in New Orleans
after the war, he contracted most likely Yellow Fever and died there in
1867. Charles, shown hear wearing a rare corps badge, served with
the 18th Maine Vols, before transfering to the 1st Maine HA in 1862,
then was transfered to the staff of a General in 1863. Breveted
Brigadier General in 1865. Both photos are in immaculate condition
sealed into their original frames with period backing. Both Generals are
hard to find in mages in general. Provinence from the auction and their
previous ownership will be provided to the Purchaser. Very rare
opportunity to own mementos like these from the personal
collection of a sitting U. S. Vice President, much less Lincoln's
own.

Large albumen mounted to Board of 4 Generals of the 20th Army Corps
taken in Atlanta in 1864. Division commander Joseph Ward sits at the
middle and to his left is Daniel Dustin of Illinois and Joseph Cogswell of
Massachusetts. More importantly is future President of the United
States Benjamin Harrison as a Brigadier General. Interestingly enough,
I have this same view Autographed by all four sitters in my Autographed
Generals section. Ultra rare view of Harrison in Uniform from the
period. This photograph was published in a Cabinet Card format in the
1880's for use in Harrison's campaign. Great view of some of
Sherman's Generals and rarely ever encountered in this format.
Roughly 14 by 20 and can be accompanied by its original frame if
desired.

Full page albumen of William Penn Robeson JR of new Jersey. Served
in the 3rd NJ Infantry from 5/61-12/63 and with the 3rd NJ Cavalry from
12/63-8/61. Rose in rank from Captain to Brevet Brigadier General.
View hear as a BG. "By the end of the Civil War, Robeson was Lt Col of
the 3rd NJ Cav. His Col. was A. C. M. Pennington, who had frequently
commanded the horse artillery battery attached to Custer's Michigan
Brigade. Pennington commanded a brigade of Custer's division and
Robeson commanded the 3rd NJ Cav during the Appomattox campaign.
Robeson was born 8 Jul 1837 (corrected 15 Nov) in Belvidere, NJ where
he is buried, and died 15 Sep 81 in Camden, NJ. He graduated from
Princeton in 1858. He was a lawyer and served as Deputy Collector of
the Port of Philadelphia.
From the photos on Find-a-Grave he seems to have been buried in the
same plot as George Maxwell Robeson, who was Grant's Secretary of
the Navy from 1869 to 1877. It seems then that Robeson like
Pennington had connections in NJ politics.
The 3rd NJ was also called the 1st U. S. Hussars. The regiment's
hussar style uniform is said to have won them the nickname "Butterfles."
True or not the regiment may have carried a flag with a large butterfly
on it."

Incredible Un-Published Imperial Albumen of General and future
President James Garfield of Ohio as a Major General. "James Abram
Garfield (November 19, 1831 – September 19, 1881) was the 20th President of the
United States, serving from March 4 1881 to his death on September 9 1881, after
spending a mere 200 days in office. Garfield served as a major general in the
United States Army during the American Civil War and fought at the Battle of Shiloh.
He entered congress as a radical Republican in 1863, opposing slavery and
seccession. Following compromises with Ulysses S. Grant, James G. Blaine and
John Sherman, Garfield became the Republican party nominee for the 1880
Presidential Election and successfully defeated Democrat Winfield Hancock. His
presidency was cut short after he was shot by the mentally-disturbed Charles J.
Guiteau while entering a railroad station in Washington D.C. on July 2 1881. He
was the second US President to be assassinated. Following his death, Garfield
was succeeded by Vice-President Chester A. Arthur." Photo is matted and in
excellent condition. First time I have ever seen this image of the
Assasinated President. Extremely Rare and Important.
Image was taken with a digital camera and doesn't show the full quality. This is a
Mint Imperial albumen of extremely high quality. Once Framed, it will look
outstanding. Imperial's are the largest size albumen prints possible being roughly
23 by 27 inch's.
