Shown standing, facing forward, and in uniform, this half-length portrait presents Ulysses S. Grant in his military role rather than as a civilian statesman. The record describes it as a photographic print of a drawing, a common method in the 1870s and 1880s for spreading a famous face through books, newspapers and parlor displays. Grant had led the Union armies to victory in the Civil War before serving two terms as president from 1869 to 1877, and a uniformed image like this one kept his wartime reputation before the public. The record gives only a date range, so the exact year is uncertain.
