- Lot Description
Lot of 10, comprised of 6 CDVs of Daniel Sickles in uniform and 3 post-war cabinet photographs, plus a 3.5 x 2.25 in. machine-stitched 13-star flag featuring a circular, 1 in. dia., printed portrait of Sickles. Including a carte de visite credited to Brady's National Portrait Galleries, NY, and 2 CDVs with E. & H.T. Anthony, NY imprints, plus 3 commercially printed cartes of the general. The cabinet photographs are credited to W. Kurtz and Falk of New York and J.E. Purdy of Boston.
Sickles (1825-1914) was a controversial and colorful politician, a Union general in the Civil War, and diplomat. He was the first to successfully use a plea of "temporary aberration of mind" to win acquittal on charges of murder. He shot Philip Barton Key (February 1859), son of Francis Scott Key, because of attentions Key was paying to Mrs. Sickles. He also was instrumental in securing Central Park for New York in 1852. At the onset of the Civil War, Sickles raised the Excelsior Brigade, and rose through the Union ranks to commander of the 3rd Corps, until he lost half his troops and his right leg at Gettysburg, and subsequently his command.Condition
All photos are in good condition with some toning and light soiling; the printed image attached to the stitched flag has some creasing and few surface abrasions.
