Full title as inscribed on mount of first photograph reads, "General Grant, wife, and son, Col. Fred D. Grant, taken in San Francisco immediately after their arrival from their Tour around the World. The likeness of Mrs. Grant is pronounced by Col. Grant to be the most accurate ever taken of his Mother." Copyright 1886 by Inst. Photo Co. and numbered 147. The second photograph's full title reads, "The Dying Soldier, as he looked after completing the last pages of his personal memoirs. The steadfastness of purpose with which this great task was pursued, added another to the long list of victories won. The physical and mental endurance exhibited were unparalleled, and only possible to a man who, for years, had almost absolute control of both mind and body." Copyright 1886 by the U.S. Instan [sic] Photo Co. and numbered 154.
