Roscoe Conkling, of New York, was among the countrys most powerful politicians after the Civil War. He was a Congressman from 1859-1863 and again from 18651867. He was also a U.S. Senator from 186781.
This cabinet photo was given out as a promotional tool, ostensibly for the Baking Powder Company. It is also likely that, because Conkling controlled the Republican political machine in New York, it was patronage to Conkling.
Front reads: Roscoe Conkling.
Chapman, Smith & Co, Chicago. (in pencil say "Senator")
Back reads: "Presented to Every Purchaser of Chapman, Smith & Cos Western (The Superb) Baking Powder."
Size: 4 1/4" x 6 1/2"
Condition: Excellent. Minimal wear. Looks like it spent its life protected in an album. You can see the small penciled "Senator" on the front. On the back is penciled "Legislature 1858-66, Senator 1867-1879." This would date the photo prior to the end of his career. C.1879-80.
