Additional Information
Created between 1855 and 1865 using the wet collodion glass plate process, this distinguished portrait of Ulysses S. Grant forms part of the renowned Brady-Handy photograph collection. The Library of Congress acquired this original glass negative in 1954 from the descendants of photographer Levin C. Handy, preserving an extraordinary visual record of America's Civil War leadership.
The Brady-Handy collection represents one of the most significant photographic archives of nineteenth-century American history. Mathew Brady's studio pioneered portrait photography as both art and historical documentation, while his associate and nephew-in-law Levin Handy continued the tradition, together creating an unparalleled gallery of presidents, generals, statesmen, and cultural figures.
Ulysses S. Grant rose from an unremarkable peacetime military career to become the commanding general who secured Union victory in the Civil War. His tenacious leadership at Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and the Overland Campaign demonstrated strategic brilliance that earned him supreme command, while his generous terms at Appomattox helped set the stage for national reconciliation.
Featured in the Library of Congress commemoration of Grant's 200th birthday in 2022, this evocative portrait captures a future president and military icon during the defining era of his life. Offering an authentic connection to Civil War history through original period photography, this image represents an essential acquisition for collectors of presidential portraiture and American military heritage.
