Brady Imperial Albumen Photograph, “Sherman and his Generals”.
William Tecumseh Sherman is the central focus of this formal group portrait published by Matthew Brady in 1865. The other sitters are generals Howard, Logan, Davis, Slocum, Mower and Blair.
Photograph taken from life by Brady in Washington D.C. during the Victory parade in May, 1865. General Blair arrived late and Brady photographed him separately and then “pasted” him into the group photo; bottom right.

Was this done in Sepia Tone or is it just a property of the photo paper aging?
