His auction description:
"This is a wonderful small photograph of General Longstreet in his younger years. It is 2-5/8"s by 4"s. I have another image of him I am selling tonight that shows him as an older man. This contains an embossed seal that states "The confederates states of America 1864". This tells me the photo was made and sold as a souvenier just after the war. The seal does not indicate it is a one of a kind item but I believe it to definetly be a limited edition. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a museum quality item.
