Description
A vignette carte-de-visite (CDV) of Confederate “Gray Ghost” John S. Mosby, commander of the 43rd Battalion, 1st Virginia Cavalry.

Following the war, Mosby worked as an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice and served as consul to Hong Kong under President Ulysses S. Grant.
Lower front and obverse bear the imprint of Baltimore, MD photographers “Bendann Bros.” A 2-cent US tax stamp is adhered to the lower left obverse corner.
