Revolutionary War Lithograph by H.a. Ogden Uniforms of United States Army 1888

In 1885, the Quartermaster General of the United States Army published a series of extraordinary chromolithographs, recording the Army uniforms from colonial days to the year 1885. The foremost artist specializing in military subjects, H.A. Ogden, was selected to prepare the several prints. The lithography was accomplished by G.H. Buek & Company, NY and published by B.M. Whitlock, also of New York City.

 Henry Alexander Ogden was an American Illustrator known for his depiction of Military Subjects especially the Revloutionary War.

 Between 1890 and 1907, various sections of Uniforms of the United States Army were published. The Quartermaster General of the army had been so impressed with Ogden's work that he commissioned the artist to prepare designs depicting the uniforms of the army since its inception in the 18th century. The first dozen watercolors were completed by the mid-1880s; these were used in the Regulations for the Uniform of the Army of the United States published in May 1888. The artist began work on seventy paintings representing uniforms worn between 1774 and 1888. Some of this work was undertaken at Fort Jay on Governor's Island off New York, and to facilitate his work, examples of uniforms were sent up from Washington, D.C. In each drawing, Ogden depicted five soldiers of different rank. For each completed plate, he received $100. In 1890, the first forty-seven plates were published, and subsequent plates covered the period from 1898 up to 1907.

This lithograph print is from the "Uniforms" dated 1888 "Noncommissioned Officers -Staff Corps. Full Dress.  It is an original from thos published in 1890 measuring 17" by 13" and includes the second page describing the watercolr lithograph.  It is in good conidtion with a slight discoloration on the upper right border area - does not detract from the very high qulity of the physical print.  There is some minor corner bunt/creases.  

Perfect for framing and display or make a wonderful film memory as a gift.
