This is an original Civil War era CDV image of Civil War Brevet Brigadier General Jonathan Biggs. Biggs a graduate of the 1856 class at West Point and served with the 1st U.S. Infantry during the Civil War. He also was the Chief Quartermaster for the Departments of Virginia and North Carolina and also at the Philadelphia Depot. The back of the card has the photographer mark of Kimberly Brothers, Fort Monroe, Va. He has also signed the back of the card which is a nice extra touch on an already great image. When we say he is a "Brevet" Brigadier General this means that because of his service to the country he was awarded the rank as an honor. This is a bust view of the general in a stately pose. The image shows the General in his uniform with his major insignia showing on his shoulder. The CDV images were made by applying a thin paper photo image of the famous person of the day to a heavier paper card. This made the image more durable and easier to display and also added uniformity to the size. The overall size of a CDV image is approximately 2.5 inches by 4 inches in size. This is a solid original Civil War Union CDV image.
