LEE, ROBERT E.] BRADY, MATHEW. Albumen portrait of Lee, seated in uniform with his son Maj. Gen. G.W.C. LEE and Col. WALTER TAYLOR standing to either side, all in full dress uniform, taken in April 1865 in Richmond, Va. 6 x 4.5/8 in. later mount, matted . Meredith, The Face of Robert E. Lee , pp.64-69; Mr. Lincoln's Camera Man, pp. 195-196, 368, cover illustration and pl. 114. One of the most evocative of all existing images of Lee. Taken only days after the Appomattox surrender, it shows the former Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia wearing the uniform in which he surrendered. Lee is flanked on the right by his son, General George Washington Custis Lee, and by his trusted aide Colonel Walter H. Taylor (hat in hand), on the left. In a very brief sitting, Mathew Brady took a total of six photographs of the defeated Commander on the back porch of the John Steuart home, "Brook Hill," on Franklin Street in Richmond, Virginia, where Lee had retired in the wake of the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia to Grant on 9 April 1865. The large format prints of this arresting portrait are very rare.
