Harper's Weekly, 1857-1912, published over 75,000 illustrations, portraits and
cartoons, featuring drawings by Frederic Remington, Winslow Homer and
Thomas Nast to name a few. It was the most significant newspaper
printed during the Civil War, featuring in-depth stories on the events
and people of the war. Harper's Weekly is famous for its incredibly
stunning illustrations, chronicling the War as it evolved. Serious
students of the Civil War use Harper's as their definitive source for
research and documentation.
So much original Civil War
memorabilia is disappearing as collectors are acquiring the last of a
limited supply. Authentic antique prints like the one offered for
auction are becoming scarce. Framed, these historic prints make
wonderful gifts and look beautiful in homes and offices, private studies
as well as public places.
