Few images of Ulysses S. Grant from his years as a Union general and later president circulated as widely as the carte de visite, a small albumen card photograph mounted on cardboard and sold for pennies. Cards like this one were collected in family albums and traded among soldiers and citizens during the Civil War, which turned Grant into a national figure. The format also shows how photography reached ordinary households in the 1860s, when a portrait of a famous commander could sit on a parlor table beside family members.
