Handsome original antique engraved portrait of General Winfield Scott.

• This oval portrait of Scott was engraved by Charles Hall from a daguerreotype photograph by Mathew Brady.



• It is set within a highly decorative frame, capped with a vignette of the archangel Gabriel.



• Beneath the portrait is a scene from the Niagara campaign during the War of 1812. It shows the badly wounded Colonel Solomon Van Rensselaer being carried off the battlefield, shortly before Scott took command of the American forces.



• Scott's signature, in facsimile, is at the bottom of the sheet.



• The image area measures 23 x 15 cm [9" x 6"] on a larger sheet, published in Robert Tomes' Battles of America by Sea and Land; Virtue & Company, 26 John Street, New York, 1861.



• Condition:  It is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with no marks, rips, tears, or creases. It is printed on a heavy paper, with original tissue overlay, and is blank on the back, with no printing on the reverse side. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.



• This is an original, authentic antique engraving, not a reproduction or modern reprint, fully guaranteed to be genuine.



• It would make a handsome and dramatic display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips with your purchase, along with a photocopy of the dated title page from the book in which it was published.
