A collection of twelve cartes de visite of United States presidents and first ladies, produced c. 1860s. Seven of the CDVs are photographs taken of engraved or painted portraits; these CDVs are portraits of presidents Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Quincy Adams, Jackson, Buchanan, and Lincoln, as well as Martha Washington. The other four CDVs -- which picture Ulysses S. Grant, Andrew Johnson, Julia Grant, and Mary Todd Lincoln -- are real photographs of the individuals. The photo of Grant is labelled 'General' rather than 'President', indicating the CDVs were likely produced before 1869. They likely originate from New York, as the archive they belonged to focuses on New York politicians. [
