A full-length standing image of Pierce in a long coat, his hands clasped behind his back, standing on an elaborate patterned rug, signed in lower margin of mount. VERY RARE: no carte-de-visite signed by Pierce was part of the collections of Marans, Shochet or Jacobs; American Book Prices Current lists no examples at auction since at least 1975.
