…..Continued from Gallery, More about ‘Gen. Meade U.S.A.’ c.1855….

….. We have the period inscription and the same facial features as in his war time photos.- (see facial recognition videos (linked in Meade Gallery) Facial hair type, forehead, eyes, ears, etc. don’t change. Weight, dress, hairstyle can and do. all we can know for certain is that this is an image of ‘Gen. Meade U.S.A.’, before the Civil War, with the period inscription, ‘Gen Meade U.S.A.’ Where exactly the original daguerreotype was taken might never be known, but it hope to add More info in future blogs about the Kimball’s, and their EAst Coast and Leavenworth, KS, studios. Thankfully my Great Grandmother took the time to id nearly all the CDVS in her Grandmother Stanton’s Photo album-including the Carte of Gen. Meade-one not easy to Identify without an inscription due to the virtual non-existence of any known Photos of Gen. Meade before 1860 and the fact that he appears more robust in it!
