31091. (CDV) [Carte De Visite format] U.S. Revenue Cutter Hugh M. McCulloch c.1865. Image by “A.A. Turner Photographer, New Orleans”. Interesting pre-printed backmark in purple ink for the Turner Gallery. Popular during the Civil War when images of heroes and loved ones were widely collected, a CDV consists of an albumen photograph mounted on a 2 ½” x 4” card. Rare, clear image of the U.S. Revenue Cutter Hugh M. McCulloch was possibly produced to commemorate the vessel’s commissioning on December 1, 1865. She was first stationed at New Orleans and made the passage to Cuba in 1867 to convoy the Harriet Lane to the United States. She was then stationed at Savannah, GA, in 1869 and then transferred to Portland, Maine. In 1876 she was decommissioned and sold, to become the merchant vessel John H. Starin. Good detail includes ensign and commissioning pennant of the Revenue Cutter Service flying. Such images are extremely rare and collectible, particularly of Revenue Cutters, etc. Clean, edges good, light moisture or foxing to back. (VG+). $155.
