In 1864-66 the US government taxed photography to help pay for the American Civil war. Revenue stamps were placed on the back of photos, and "cancelled" by the photographer. This CDV has a revenue stamp.

Josiah and Agnes Lee are both buried at Hazzard Cemetery, West Salem, Wayne County, Ohio. This beautiful old photo was found in Navarre, Santa Rosa County, Florida. It is a beautiful and close up intimate portrait of Josiah Lee, wearing a Civil War era silk cravat at his neck. He was an early settler who lived a long life throughout the 19th century.
