Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, Civil War lithograph portrait

A bust-length lithographic portrait within an oval vignette shows a balding, mustached man with spectacles in a dark military dress uniform with a high collar, fringed epaulettes, and rows of buttons. Printed capitals below read "Gen'l Benj. F. Butler" on the pale sheet, with a smaller publisher line, and the tonal shading gives the face a soft, detailed modeling.
