[BRADY, Mathew (1822-1896), photographer]. Pair of Albumen Prints of Grant and His Staff at Their Field Headquarters at City Point, VA. [Hartford, Conn: Taylor and Huntington, ca. 1864]. Prints of Grant and his staff at City Point, taken directly from negatives of photos shot by Brady and Alex Gardner. Prints mounted onto Taylor and Huntington’s decorative mounts, with their printed catalogue on versos. Prints approximately 5 ¼ x 8 ¼”. Mounts approximately 9 x 11”. A bit toned, photos with small manuscript notes below the images (“Grant” and “Grant / Barker [beneath crossed out manuscript note]”), minor rubbing to mounts, one photo with a small marginal chip at left margin. Fine. During the Petersburg campaign, Grant and his staff lived in tents on the property of Dr. Richard Eppes; it was at this location that Grant directed most of the action in the final phase of the Civil War.
