Carte de visite photograph, titled on the mount, OUR PRESENT PEACE COMMISSIONERS, c. 1865. Mount lightly toned.

Features a portrait of President Andrew Johnson surrounded by portraits of the leading American military figures at the close of the Civil War, including Ulysses Grant, William T. Sherman, David D. Porter, Thomas, Farragut and Sheridan. "Peace Commissioners" is a somewhat derisory reference to various Democratic proposals to end the war thru a negotiated truce.
