An original and highly desirable Carte de Visite (CDV) photograph by Samuel Montague Fassett who also photographed Abraham Lincoln measuring approximately 4 x 2 1/2 inches.  Cataloged in Picturing Frederick Douglass cat. #31, dated to Douglass' trip to Chicago to deliver two lectures at Bryan Hall on February 25 and 28, 1864. This is the finest example in terms of clarity I have observed. Thanks for looking.
