Union general and onetime commander of the Army of the Potomac (1824–1881); the distinctive whiskers he sported gave rise to the word ‘sideburns.’ Original 2.5 x 3.75 carte-de-visite full-length portrait of Burnside in uniform, by Brady of Washington, signed in the lower border in black ink, “A. E. Burnside, Gnl.” In very good condition, with scattered surface marks and light soiling, mild silvering to dark areas of the image, trimmed edges, and a small pencil notation to the lower left. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
