(Monticello, Artillery, Shelling, Hatteras, Sixth Regiment New York Volunteers, Wilson's Zouaves, Santa Rosa Island, Florda, For Pickins, 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. One side depicts a dramatic scene of violence as Rebels scramble under artillery shelling from the Monticello. The other side is a full page landscape view of the Sixth's Regiment New York Volunteers' Camp on Santa Rosa Island, Florida.
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. Either side is more than worth of display.
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
