In regard to the rarity: I would consider having 130 images of an 1860s
personality to not be that rare when most of the population probably had
but one or two images of themselves from that period
In an introduction to the 2001 edition of his "Custer in Photographs", D.
Mark Katz stated: "[George Armstrong] Custer today remains the most
photographed man of the nineteenth century with 162 identifiable photographs spanning
the last twenty years of his life [the first dates from 1857, the last from
1876]." (And I know of five other Custer photos identified since then.)
