This is the ORIGINAL ENGRAVING that was printed in the August 29, 1863 edition of THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. This Original Engraving was neatly cut out of the Original 1863 Edition of The Illustrated London News, retaining the Paper’s headline, date, page number, etc.
The backside of the engraving shows other news from the paper, as originally printed.
The engraving has been mounted but not framed. The backside of the engraving has 4 pieces of white cloth tape mounting it to the backside of the mounting board. The backside of the mounting board has the name address of the mounter “Van & Taylor’s Art Center, Sacramento”. I believe that place is long gone.
THIS WAS THE FIRST PUBLICATION OF THIS INCREDIBLE IMAGE THAT HAS BEEN REPRINTED COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE - It was created FOR this 1863 issue of The Illustrated London News by “Our Special Artist”.
The Engraving, along with its headline, date, and title, measures 7.5” x 10”. The mount measures 11” x 14”. It is ready for framing in an 11” x 14” frame.
The Engraving is titled at the bottom: “SOUTHERN REFUGEES ENCAMPING IN THE WOODS NEAR VICKSBURG. - From a Sketch by our Special Artist.”
As the original engraving, dated 1863 and first published in this August 29, 1863 issue of the Illustrated London News, it is VERY SCARCE.
