Carte-de-Visite Photograph of Jackson E. Labatt, New Orleans, Louisiana

Carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph of Jackson E. Labatt (December 1, 1845 – 1924), taken circa 1860 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Labatt served in Company B, 26th Louisiana Infantry during the Civil War. Post-war, he worked as a long-distance freighter for the U.S. Army and held various occupations, including merchant, estate agent, notary public, government contractor, and cotton merchant. His father was Abraham Cohen Labatt, a Charleston, SC merchant. The Labatt family in both New Orleans and Charleston corresponded with Isaac Leeser. The photograph's signature matches Labatt's handwriting on a document signed June 21, 1865, in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and on a passport application.
