- Lot Description
Lot of 2 CDVS, including portrait of "Andrew Johnson, Pres't U.S." as captioned below image. With Gardner's 1865 copyright and Washington, DC studio credit; and composite view of several ministers, including the Reverend Dr. Matthew Simpson at top left. With Hallett & Brother's 1865 copyright and New York studio credit.
The Reverend Dr. Matthew Simpson (1811-1884), a Methodist Bishop, was an important champion of the Union cause and a close friend of Abraham Lincoln. Having served as an Ohio state senator, judge, and pastor, Simpson was very present in the public scene. As editor of the Western Christian Advocate, he utilized his influence to promote temperance and anti-slavery movements. It is said that Lincoln trusted Simpson's advice, even on matters political, such as the appointment of Edwin Stanton as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Simpson later recited a eulogy at the Lincoln funeral in Springfield, and even officiated at the marriage of Robert Todd Lincoln and Mary Harlan in 1868.
Both CDVs with some spotting, light soiling, and wear to edges of image and mount. Johnson with revenue stamp on verso.Condition
