[History & Science] Sherman, William T. (1820 - 1891). Signed Photograph. Stupendous Sarony cabinet photograph of a seated Sherman in uniform, 4 x 6.25, signed on the original photographer’s mount, “W. T. Sherman, General, 1888.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 11 x 13 inches. In fine condition.
In 1886, two years after retiring from military service, Sherman moved to New York City, where he lived for the remainder of his life and where he was in great demand as a speaker and dinner guest. In 1888, he sat for Napoleon Sarony (1821–1896), the city’s undisputed king of celebrity photography. Sarony captured multiple views of Sherman in full uniform, including the present portrait. Sherman’s character-etched face was clearly the center of focus, while other details—the bullion of his epaulets, the tooling of his belt, the weave and tassels of his sash—summon the immediacy of battle and accent the dignity of the storied old soldier.
