Farragut Photo

[JPK Huson 1863]

I bumped into this while looking for something else, disremember seeing this one before? It's from Cowan's auctions, via Pinterest ( meaning it's fair game now ). Of course, it's possibly used in every, single article, book and poster on the man and I'm just wayyyy behind.

Nice photo.

I've seen it before, but I might be a special case... To be fair, the caption to it in Frank Donovan's Ironclads of the Civil War calls it "little-known," and the sourcing indicates it's part of the collection of the Mariners Museum.

I've also seen it but it's not a famous one. I like it! Farragut took good pictures.

Is it me or is it rare to see a clean shaven senior officer?
