Cartes-de-visite - Rockwood, Photographer, New York, NY, circa 1860
A sepia-toned carte-de-visite (CDV) featuring a formal studio portrait of Francis Lieber. Lieber is depicted standing, wearing a dark suit and bow tie, with his right hand tucked into his waistcoat and his left hand resting on the back of a chair. The photograph is mounted on cardstock, typical of mid-19th century studio portraiture. The reverse side features handwritten annotations identifying the subject as "Francis Lieber" and mentioning his role as a "History Prof Col. U" and involvement "on Prep. Com. 1864 against secession." The photographer's imprint, "Rockwood, Photographer, 839 Broadway, N. Y.", is also printed on the back. 3.
