EDITORS COMMENTS
This cabinet portrait captures the essence of George Armstrong Custer, a renowned military figure of the nineteenth century. The photograph, signed and inscribed by Custer himself to his brother Tom Custer in 1872, holds immense historical significance. The image showcases Custer in a quarter-length pose, dressed in military attire with a distinguished mustache adorning his face. His gaze is directed away from the camera, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the portrait. The decorative technique used enhances the overall appeal of this piece. Cabinet portraits were popular during this era as they provided an intimate glimpse into the lives of notable individuals like Custer. This particular print is mounted on paper within an oval frame, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we discover that it was captured by John A. Scholten of St. Louis, Missouri - a talented artist who flourished between 1859 and 1894. This remarkable piece not only serves as a testament to Custer's military rank but also highlights his close bond with his brother through the inscription on the photograph itself. With its rich history and artistic allure, this cabinet portrait offers us a rare opportunity to connect with one of America's most iconic figures from yesteryears – George Armstrong Custer.
