John Burns, the “Hero of Gettysburg,” became quite a celebrity after his battle exploits.  Burns had his picture taken repeatedly and signed quite a few copies.  Our example, however, is rare… because Burns when he signed his photo placed 95% of his autographs on the back of the CDV.  In the past 30 years, we have only seen 2 other examples of a front signed Burns!  This CDV is in excellent condition with a slight loss of the border gold stripe beneath the signature.  The reverse shows stains from mounting, not affecting the Anthony/Brady Imprint in the center.  It is a true show piece for the photography or Gettysburg collector.  Be sure to look at the 1863 letter of Burns in our Bloody Gettysburg section.  They would make a magnificent pair!
