This is one of my favorite likenesses. Even if it is one of my ugly mug. Almost looks like a CdV. During the Civil War, photographs were printed and pasted to cards about the size of a credit card. "Cartes de Visites"... calling cards with images. Inexpensive and easy to mail or keep in an album... carry around in your haversack. Very popular.
Unless, of course, you had one with my ugly mug on it. Then you put it in the barn to scare away rats.
