Robert E Lee ?Look a like. Hand Colored Albumen

Description

Very interesting image from my collection.( ? hand colored albumen) I have had this image for many years. Thinking this was a post war 1800's image of Robert E Lee in civilian attire ,though I have never seen this particular pose. I can not claim this Is positively Robert E Lee ,so the buyer has to be the judge. I think it may be .The image on the back of the the photo looks familiar to me, though I am not sure who it is. Photographed this in different light , almost has a negative type appearance when viewed from the side. Looks like it was possibly varnished over long ago with age crackles on the surface. I believe the frame is original to the image, I repainted it and antiqued the gold frame because it was in poor repainted shape, for display in my collection. No reserve. If you live in the area , you are welcome to inspect this in person.
