Washington, DC: John Goldin & Co., 1861. Probably one of a multiple original, with very few surviving. Photograph. Format is approximately 2.25 inches by 4 inches, with the image slightly smaller than the backing. Worn and chipped along the edges. Minor loss to top left corner of image, most of the wear/loss is to the backing. On the back, in pencil is the notation. Very young, July 18th about 16 years. This would place the date around 1861. Colonel Burton R. Ross, (1845-1913) was a military instructor of the High School Cadet Regiment for 26 years . Col. Ross was for many years connected with the District of Columbia National Guard. He was at one time Lieutenant Colonel of the First Regiment. John Goldin & Company were noted Washington D.C. photographers during the Civil War period. This carte de visite was described on the back as 'Vignette Specialite". The back clearly states that additional copies can be made from the plate if desired. Affixed to the back is an Internal Revenue 2 cent stamp that says at the bottom "Plying cards'. This stamp appears to have been hand canceled with an "X" in ink. The Scott Catalog lists 103 major stamp types for this series. It appears to be a copy of the one designated as R11b, 2 Cent Playing Cards Perforated and is on a carte de visite (CdV). The carte de visite, abbreviated CdV, was a type of small photograph which was patented in Paris by photographer André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854, although first used by Louis Dodero. Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such photograph cards were commonly traded among friends and visitors in the 1860s. Albums for the collection and display of cards became a common fixture in Victorian parlors. More
