Ulysses S. Grant, Large Albumen Photograph on Card by Abraham Bogardus
About the Item
Grant, Ulysses S.
Large Albumen Photograph
Magnificent large albumen photograph of Ulysses S. grant by Abraham Bogardus.
An unusually large late (circa 1880) photograph of Grant, post-presidency, in formal dress, sitting and in partial profile. Mounted on thick card with the photographer’s credit and address (“A. Bogardus / 872 Broadway, NY”) on matte below the photo.
The photographer, Anthony Bogardus, was a photographic pioneer, described by the New York Times as “the best-known photographer in the United States” in his prime who took “the first photographs of Gen. Grant, Gen. Hancock, Samuel D. Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher and other equally well-known men.”
The engravers Currier & Ives produced an engraving based on this photograph, calling it “the last and best taken of General Grant".
This very large (approximately 10x16 inches; 10.5x16.5 with mount) photograph also appears to have served as the model for a small carte-de-visit issued at the end of Grant’s life.
Albumen print. Contemporary or near-contemporary printing (1880-1890). On original thick cardboard mount with gilt edges. Archivally framed to an overall size of 17.25 x 23.5 inches. Light wear around edges of mount.
A stunning large image in outstanding condition.

- Fred Herzog, Vancouver Photographs by Fred Herzog, Signed EditionLocated in valatie, NYFred Herzog: Vancouver Photographs by Fred Herzog. Signed Edition exhibition catalog (Vancouver Art Gallery January 25-May 13, 2007). 160 pages with numerous color photographs throughout. "Iconic and influential color images of Vancouver street life from a master photographer who has spent the past fifty years documenting the city, published to coincide with a major exhibition of his work. His eye dwells on the raw urban underbelly of the city: second-hand shops, vacant lots, barber shops and greasy spoons, crowded with people and their stuttering dreams. Since he arrived in Vancouver from Germany in 1953, Fred Herzog has roamed the city's back streets with his camera. Herzog draws upon documentary traditions while incorporating an outsider's sensitivity to a new environment. His color images of street life in the 1950s and '60s prefigure the "New Color" of photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. The text includes essays by Grant Arnold...Category
