Description

The Battle of Rich Mountain, Virginia, July, 13 1861
(Battle of Rich Mountain, Virginia, Charge, Calvary, Firing Lines, American Civil War, Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization)
Issued 1861, 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. This full page wood cut print depicts a dramatic scene of a mounted officer rallying on his troops to charge, bayonets fixed or swords drawn. In the background, several firing lines are in various states of volley.
The newspaper leaf includes other interesting captioned images including:
Fancy Sketch of Right Reverend Major-General Bishop Polk Heading his "Division."
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
