Carte-de-visite of Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson with hand-embellished mourning border.

—

An expression of Confederate sympathetic folk art, this printed souvenir CDV portrait of Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson was turned into an object of mourning. This transformation likely occurred shortly after Jackson’s death by friendly fire on May 10, 1863. An exceptionally strong image with dark tonal contrast.
