Studio bust portrait colorized albumen of Robert E. Lee. Richmond: Julian Vannerson, March 1864. 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 in., matted and framed to 11 1/2 x 13 1/2 in. wall frame.

A colorized version of the Robert E. Lee portrait taken by Julian Vannerson. Lee is in his Confederate uniform, with the buttons and three stars on the collar of his coat beautifully accentuated.

Julian Vannerson (ca. 1827-after 1875) was an American photographer first known for taking pictures of Native Americans who came to Washington, D.C., as part of treaty delegations in the 1850s. Once the Civil War began, he switched subjects and started taking photos of soldiers and officers, his most famous being this Lee portrait and one of J.E.B. Stuart ca. 1863.
