Commanding CDV of Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the United States. He assumed the presidency after Lincoln was assassinated and served from 1865-69. This well-known image was photographed by Matthew Brady and published by E. Anthony. It is in very good condition with strong tones and contrast. The mount has a slight curve at the bottom. Someone has written Han Andy Johnson in pencil on the back as seen.
