Description: Great cabinet card photograph reprint and restoration from vintage original Brady negative. Major General Daniel Adams Butterfield from the 12th New York Infantry Regiment, wounded seriously at Gaines Mill in 1862 Butterfield went on to become the creator of the famous burial bugle call "Taps," a variant of an old army call known as Scott Tattoo. He commanded a division at Fredericksburg, and then became Hooker's chief of staff, sharing both the credit for improved morale and responsibility for the licentious behaviour that Hooker tolerated in camp. He also became embroiled in Hooker’s political feuds with Burnside and Meade. Wounded at Gettysburg, he served in Sherman’s Atlanta campaign, before retiring from front-line service through illness. He later received the Medal of Honor. Restored and preserved from the original - with archival-quality inks on Fujifilm professional-grade photo paper. Mounted by hand on sturdy chipboard the overall card is approximately 4” x 6”. First Class Shipping in US.

They often replaced the “calling card” as a currency of social exchange and introduction and they came to frequently be displayed in glass “cabinets” to demonstrate acquaintance or connection in some way with the notables pictured in the portraits.
