Very rare George A. Custer signed CDV photo as Brigadier General, with the backstamp of Mathew Brady who took the photo on 8 October 1863 (K-20 in the catalog of Custer photos). Custer signs under his image, ''Truly Yours / G.A. Custer''. Accompanied by a CDV of Custer's wife, Elizabeth Bacon Custer, with backstamp of photographer W.H. Bowlsby, Monroe, Michigan. CDVs originate from the family of Jessica Wood Cust, neighbors of the Custers in Monroe.

Writing on versos and minute wear, overall in very good plus condition with a prominent signature by Custer. With provenance from Cowan's Auctions, where the set sold for $23,000 in 2005.
