Issued 1863, New York, by Harper & Brothers.
Original antique offset printed image produced during the American Civil War. An actual printed leaf taken from this scarce old periodical, published at the date listed. Two landscape vignette scenes in the rain: At the top of the page, Union soldiers raise the stars and stripes in Jackson Mississippi. At the bottom of the page, roughly twice as large, are four mounted officers watching the Battle of Jackson in the fields beyond. Smoke can be seen rising from firing lines as the battle rages in the distance.
A nice looking example of printed, ephemeral history with a pleasing age patina. Any minor age flaws are easy to forgive and add to its antique aesthetic. Text, images, and/or advertisements on reverse as issued. An elusive image, worthy of display. Provided photos show the front and back of the item, not two discrete prints.
Mounted and framed, this piece would make an excellent decoration for your home, restaurant, office, classroom, or any other space where people appreciate the vintage aesthetic of antique printed history.
Measures 16"H x 11"W
