Maquette comprised of 7 cartes de visite of naval admirals who served in the Union Forces during the American Civil War and 2 separate oval pieces of scalloped paper inscribed with the words "Naval" and "Heroes." Each carte de visite is pasted on scalloped paper. Produced by Mathew Brady's studio to be photographed and published in a reduced size as its own carte de visite. 6 of the admirals are identified by surname, including Stephen Clegg Rowan, David Dixon Porter, John Rodgers, Samuel Francis Dupont, David Farragut, and John A. Dahlgren. The remaining uncaptioned portrait is that of Admiral Andrew Hull Foote.
