Description: Scarce early original vintage Carte de Visite (CDV) portrait of famous Civil War General George B. McClellan by notable Washington D.C. photographer R. W. ADDIS. Back has pencil notation, “Civil War friend of Uncle Theodore Read”. Theodore Read was the last Union General to be killed in the Civil War. This is a vintage photograph and not a copy or reproduction. George B. McClellan (December 3, 1826 – October 29, 1885) was an American soldier, Civil War Union general, civil engineer, railroad executive, and politician who served as the 24th governor of New Jersey. A graduate of West Point, McClellan served with distinction during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848), and later left the Army to serve as an executive and engineer on railroads until the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861–1865). Early in the conflict, McClellan was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important role in raising a well-trained and disciplined army, which would become the Army of the Potomac in the Eastern Theater; he served a brief period (November 1861 to March 1862) as Commanding General of the United States Army of the Union Army. CDV measures 2 1/2 x 4 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases and is very sharp and has strong tones with good contrast and clarity.
