Photographs, 1863-1883.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51908171

Collection includes 16 photographs of General Ulysses S. Grant taken either by Brady or by his assistants. There are four individual portraits (1864, 1866, and ca. 1883); and eleven group pictures: four at Cold Harbor, Va. (1864), six at City Point, Va. (1864-1865, two are duplicates), and one at Lookout Mountain, Tenn. (1863). All these photographic prints save one are albumen prints, and may or may not be contemporary with the time when the negatives were made. The Lookout Mountain print is an emulsion-paper print made with a process that does not date earlier than the 1880s. Brady's name does not appear on these photographs.
