Orig Antique CIVIL WAR Engrav - GENERAL JUBAL EARLY CROSSING THE POTOMAC, 1964

Description

Original Antique Engraving - Confederate Gen. Early Recrossing the Potomac
General Jubal Early's Troops returning to Virginia after  getting within a few miles of the capital. - July, 1864
A small but impressive engraving of a large vista showing Confederate cavalry and wagons recrossing the Potomac River
back into Virginia after their failed attempt to capture the Capital of Washington.  Early's decision to rest his men for a day before the final assault gave the Union Army time to rush in reinforcements.
Don't know what publication this illustration appeared in, it had already been cut from a page and was loose when I acquired it. But it was almost certainly a Harper's or Leslie's.
Excellent condition.  A little 'time-toned' as expected.  Partially related text on the back side.   Image size:  3-1/4" x  9"
Paper size:  4-1/2" x  10"
