Sell Your Jefferson Davis CDV Signed

CDV or carte de visite is French for visiting card, and is a type of small albumen photograph mounted on a thicker board and roughly 2 inches by 3.5 inches in size. The carte de visite was first used by photographer Louis Dodero, but patented by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1854. Carte de visite photos helped contribute to the mass production of photos more affordably but didn’t really gain traction until Disdéri published carte de visite photos of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1859. By 1861 they had quickly spread though Europe and the states, a phenomenon often referred to as “cardomania”.

Here are some Jefferson Davis signed photos we have sold in the past:

Davies (famously referred to as the ”floppy tie” photograph), Lee wears his Confederate uniform featuring only three stars, signifying his rank of Colonel before the Civil War. During the war, Lee refused to wear a General’s insignia, preferring to wait until the South won the war and he could properly be promoted to General in the Confederate Army. CDV measures 2.75” x 4”. Handwritten notation and two-cent stamp to verso. Slightly trimmed along lower edge, only affecting mount. Light toning and wear, overall in very good condition with a bold signature. Sold for $5,625.
