CDV of a Rare Union General, Alfred Duffie of France. Commanded a Cavalry brigade and
Division up till Brandy Station, he was removed from command by Alfred Pleasanton just
before Gettysburg due to his xenophobia. Always very stylish in photos, this view is of
Duffie as a Colonel (1st RI Cavalry) but note the braid on his coat sleeves. Nicknamed
"Natti" he served in Africa and Algiers for France before coming to the US. Later he
served in West Virginia with B F Kelly where he was taken prisoner at Bunker Hill Va. and
was not paroled till the end of the War. Great image of the immaculately dressed officer.

Interesting Cabinet Card of New Jersey General Theodore Runyon. Served as head of NJ
troops and at the battle of Bull Run. Great pose with a huge Colt Army pistol stuck in his
belt and holding his Chasseur kepi and sword. Great content. ( Much discussion who
printed up these Gold Rimmed Cabinet Cards. They are of Brady images and I am of the
opinion that these are some of the earliest usages of Cabinet cards starting in late 1865.
Reasoning being, I owned one of Wesley Merritt once who had autographed the image and
dated it in May of 1865.)

CDV of Brigadier General Lorenzo Thomas by Lilienthal of New Orleans. Thomas, mostly a
staff officer and Inspector General of the US Army is nicely tinted here except for that
someone seems to have smudged the paint when tinting him resulting in the smear down
the image. Otherwise this would have a been a very nice piece of artwork. Scarce to find
Generals tinted as such.
