High Manufacturer and Dealer in of Boots & Shoes 756 Penn Street, Reading Pennsylvania The front of the card features a bust portrait of one of Andrew Johnon . Here is some information I found about him on the internet: Andrew Johnson (December 29, 1808 – July 31, 1875) was an American politician who served as the 17th president of the United States from 1865 to 1869. He assumed the presidency following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, as he was vice president at that time. Johnson was a Democrat who ran with Abraham Lincoln on the National Union Party ticket, coming to office as the Civil War concluded. He favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union without protection for the newly freed people who were formerly enslaved. This led to conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868. He was acquitted in the Senate by one vote The backs were issued blank. The Card measures 2 5/8 inches by 4 1/2 inches approximately. The Card does have a corner crease I have scanned the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. This is a scarce card that has cross over collect-ability.
