      Thanks rob. I picked up a large grouping of SAW era images-- most by Prince.

      I think I got about 20 duplicates of this card!

      One of the things I find interesting about the portrait is the facial expression ... borderline pensive yet there seems to pain or regret. Shafter probably saw a lot ugliness in the war and he's definitely expressing himself. And you have ~20 copies of the portrait ... amazing.

      It is an interesting expression.

      He had 40 years of service in numerous conflicts-- sadly, most today have never heard of him.
