"Salmon P. Chase" Abraham Lincoln's Treasury Secretary Tintype
Salmon P. Chase, Original Tintype Photograph, showing Salmon P. Chase sitting, housed within its original Carte de Visite style oval Photograph Mount, Choice Very Fine.
Salmon Portland Chase (1808-1873), Served as U.S. Senator from Ohio; the 23rd Governor of Ohio; U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Abraham Lincoln; the sixth Chief Justice of the United States. This rare, historic Tintype Photograph of Mr. Chase is encased in its original, vintage to the period, Carte-de-Visite size and style slip mount. There is no date or photographers imprint, likely from the period series that Abbott and Company of 146 Nassau Street NYC made. It has some age and trivial marks around the oval holder and is in overall great condition.



Chase articulated the "Slave Power conspiracy" thesis well before Lincoln, devoting his energies to the destruction of what he considered the Slave Power " the conspiracy of Southern Slave owners to seize control of the Federal government and block the progress of liberty. He coined the slogan of the Free Soil Party, "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men." He is also remembered as a noble defender of Fugitive Slaves.
