DescriptionA black and white carte-de-visite, photograph of Jeff Davis in a suit and necktie with his head turned slightly to the left with a plain background. Printed on the reverse is, "Prince Artistic Portraits, Washington D.C. Penn Ave and 11th St. New York Studio, 31 Union Square."

Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
