Not Andrew Johnson.

Forgive my ignorance but by General E Grant, who are you referring to? (I know, probably a really stupid question....).

I know, it's difficult to see.  I'll find out if he can get a better one.  Reminds me of Brigham Young a bit... but then again so many men had that hairstyle/beard back then.

Antique Questions Forum / An old photo - not sure who it is?

Hi!

I just happened across your forum.  My father antiques all the time and came across this old photo at an antique shop. He feels it's someone famous, but unsure.  It's a circa 1850's  daguerreotype photo.

Anyone have any ideas as to who this could be?
