Sepia-toned carte de visite, 2.5 x 4 inches, showing Farragut in a bust portrait wearing United States Navy uniform. The image presents him in formal military dress and identifies him visually with the senior Union naval command of the Civil War. No photographer's or publisher's back mark is present.

In excellent condition; near fine overall.…
