Thirty-one CDV-sized images of Union generals mounted to cardstock. Some of the images appear to be original photographs, while others are photographs of engravings. At least some of these engravings are by American engraver Alexander Hay Ritchie. Ten of the images are cut into ovals instead of the traditional rectangular CDV shape. Significant individuals pictured in this collection include Gen. Burnside, Gen. Hancock, Gen. Grant, and numerous others. The photos likely originate from New York, as the archive they belonged to focuses on New York politicians; they may be from New York photographer Mathew Brady, whose photos were used as references for some of the included engravings.
