Rare CDV of James T Brady a Tammany Hall Politician and lawyer during
the Civil War years who was Daniel Sickles Chief Atty during his Murder
defense of killing the son of Francis Scott Key over the infidelity of Sickles
wife. "Sickles was charged with murder and secured several leading
politicians as his defense attorneys. Among them was Edwin M. Stanton,
later to become Secretary of War, and Chief Counsel James T. Brady, like
Sickles a product of Tammany Hall. In a historic strategy, Sickles pled
insanity—the first use of a temporary insanity defense in the United
States." Signed on the front. (General Thomas Kilby Smith Album)

Wonderful image by Brady of Lincoln. A rarer variant of the normal photo
as you can see his head is tilted a bit straiter than the usual version. But
what is also fascinating is that this image is taken from the cracked original
glass plate negative. Note the very faint line from top to bottom at center
right and you can see the plate was cracked. This is the first original Brady
CDV from a cracked negative I have ever seen. I would presume that the
plate became unusable shortly afterwards meaning this variant view is
relatively rare. Original Brady front and backmarks.

Brady CDV of Sir Frederick Bruce Minister to the United States from Great
Britain who came to the US in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. His
exceptional Diplomatic abilities and the soon to be ending War allowed the
US and Great Britain to paper over their differences and to become friends
again. Scarce subject from the Civil War.
