Outstanding CDV photo card showing work from artist George Gardner Fish titled “The Martyr”. Shows a nude young woman tied to a post with a fire burning at her feet. This was produced by famed Boston photographer John P. Soule. It is dated 1863. I believe the theme has to do with the Civil War. The woman is likely Columbia, the personification of Manifest Destiny. I can find no other like this. Similar ones are highly sought. Shows minor wear.
