Ulysses S. Grant, carte-de-visite portrait

A bearded man in a dark military frock coat with shoulder straps and rows of buttons sits turned in a wooden armchair, hands resting on his knee and lap. He gazes off to the left against a plain studio backdrop. The albumen print mounted on card bears a caption in script at the bottom, which reads Sold by a Wounded Soldier.
