No Additional Fees for Multiple Items Shipped with the Largest Free Shipping on 5 or More Maps and Prints Description: It is an authentic 115 year old Antique Wood block Print from Frank Leslie's Illustrated History of the Civil War (New York, c. 1890). Frank Leslie was perhaps best known for his documentation of the Civil War in his Illustrated Weekly Newspaper that chronicled the war. The best of these illustrations were reissued in combined volumes and histories after the war. He sent artists to the battle fields to sketch the events, which were then brought back to his printing company where they were cleaned up and turned into illustrations, cut onto wood blocks, often requiring several blocks for the larger prints as in this case. The print is not mounted, matted nor framed being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic. There are smaller illustrations and text on the reverse.

Condition: It is in Very Good to Excellent condition for its age with overall tonal aging, basically as seen in the pics. Overall, it is very clean and would frame up read more
