This is an original Civil War era CDV image of Civil War Brevet Brigadier General William Wilson. Wilson served during the Civil War as Colonel of the 6th New York Infantry. He received his promotion to brevet Brigadier General on March 13, 1865, for his "gallant and meritorious services during the war." 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 full standing view of the general in a stately pose. 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. On the back of the card, it has the desirable photographer Mark of the famous firm of Anthony in New York City from a negative at Matthew Brady's Gallery. This is a solid original Civil War Union CDV image.
