Homer, Winslow
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC--A SHARP-SHOOTER ON PICKET DUTY Original Wood Engraving
New York: Harper's Weekly 1862. Original printing of Homer's most sought-after Civil War wood engraving. Image: 9 1/8 inches by 13 3/4 inches; Sheet: 10 1/2 x 15 3/8 inches. This first only impression was printed in Harper's Weekly November 15 1862. Because of the development of more accurate telescopic rifles The American Civil War saw a much greater use of sharpshooters; it is likely that Homer had occasion to see one in action during the weeks he spent sketching scenes on the battlefront. The wood engraving Homer produced was almost an exact copy of his painting of the same subject. The most notable change he made in the engraving was the inclusion of a flask hanging from a branch--something that does not appear in the painting. Both the woodblock and the electrotype plate were destroyed after the engraving was printed. This is a very good impression in very good condition. Margins slightly trimmed. First Edition. Single Sheet. Very Good. Illus. by Winslow Homer. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Fine Art Print. Harper's Weekly

[Abraham Lincoln]
HARPER'S WEEKLY: A JOURNAL OF CIVILIZATION May 13 1865: Lincoln NYC Funeral Procession and the Death of John Wilkes Booth
<p>New York: Harper's Weekly 1865. 16 pages. Harper's Weekly was the most important American pictorial newspaper in the 19th century. Because the original wood engravings in virtually every issue are highly collectible complete issues are becoming more difficult to obtain. The issue here focuses on Lincoln's New York City funeral procession and the capture and killing of John Wilkes Booth. The front page features a wood engraving of the newly sworn-in President Andrew Johnson. It is based on a photograph by Alexander Gardner. The centerfold is a double-page wood engraving captioned "President Lincoln's Funeral--Procession in New York City." It is based on a photograph by Matthew Brady. Other wood engravings include "Sergeant Boston Corbett" a portrait based on a Brady photograph of the man who shot Booth; "Planning the Capture of Booth and Harold" based on a Gardner photograph; "Booth's Capture--The Assassin Brought to Bay" a recreated view of Booth in the burning barn in which he was killed; "President Lincoln's Funeral--Removal of the Body from the City Hall to the Funeral Car New York"; and "Post-Mortem Examination of Booth's Body on Board the Monitor 'Montauk'." There is text accompanying most images. Especially striking is the lengthy description of the interaction between Booth and his pursuers before he was killed. This newspaper is disbound from an annual volume and has the usual sewing holes along the binding edge but it is still in very good condition: clean and bright with minimal toning of the paper; a long but neat closed tear along the centerfold line of the double-page engraving; a one-inch closed tear limited to the blank margin of the front page; and a 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch triangular chip out of a corner of the last leaf primarily impacting one word in the title of an advertisement. Note: we have available more than 500 complete issues of Harper's Weekly as well as thousands of individual wood engravings. Please inquire if you are looking for specific items. . First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. Magazine.</p> Harper's Weekly paperback

[Civil War; photo and autograph album]
Civil War Era Student Autograph and Photo Album
Northeastern United State 1862-1863. Hardcover. Good. Original gilt stamped leather binding; 8vo; contains more than 50 photographic portraits gem-size oval albumen prints and one tintype each about 1 inch in diameter many accompanied by charming period sentiments contributed by numerous hands. Backstrip chipped and partially detached; several pages loose with staining from the adhesive used to mount the photographs. <br/><br/>A contribution by William Hancock begins "These photographs will ere long lose their brightness; the Autographs will fade; and become illegible; and the Book which contains them will feel the changes of time grow old and vanish away." Not so -- the photographs are in excellent condition overall just a few scuffed or torn from attempted removal; the autographs are perfectly legible; and though the book certainly shows signs of use and time it remains a nice record of a time and place -- mostly Mechanicville Academy. With the photographs and autographs of students from Brainard Albany Rochester Waterford Williamsville Amsterdam New Haven Saratoga Stillwater Brooklyn Castleton and more it offers a peek into New York Vermont and Connecticut. Circulated by a woman named Cornelia a few contributions are addressed to her but do not reveal a last name it includes entries by and images of: Mary Porter Belville Roberts Elizabeth Roberts Mary Leland John Leland Amelia Adams John Lawrence Cornelia Lawrence Libbie Sears Emily Smith Hiram Richardson Benjamin Baker and many more. hardcover

[Civil War Memoir] Sheridan, Philip H

The front hinge of volume one has be strengthened. Very uncommon in the leather binding. The gilt lettering is bright. Philip Sheridan was a Union general in the Civil War and his career was noted for his rapid rise to major general and his close association with Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Grant transferred Sheridan from command of an infantry division in the Western Theater to lead the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac in the East. In 1864 he defeated Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley and his destruction of the economic infrastructure of the Valley called "The Burning" by residents was one of the first uses of scorched earth tactics in the war. In 1865 his cavalry pursued Gen. Robert E. Lee and was instrumental in forcing his surrender at Appomattox. Sheridan prosecuted the later years of the Indian Wars of the Great Plains. Both as a soldier and private citizen he was instrumental in the development and protection of Yellowstone National Park. The general suffered a series of massive heart attacks two months after sending these memoirs to the publisher. Charles L. Webster & Company,, hardcover
