Title:
(printed below the image)  "The Battle at Bull's Run - the gallant
sixty-ninth N.Y.S.M. assaulting a rebel battery masked with bushes and
carrying it at the point of the bayonet.
Very good condition.  Overall light even time-toning.  Three illustrations
on the back side  1) Portrait of Colonel of the 79th. N.Y.S.M.   2)  Portrait
of Ambrose Burnside of the Rhode Island Volunteers and  3)  The skirmish
at Middlefork Bridge, Va.
Page size:  11" x 15-1/2"     Image :  9" x 14"
A really good depiction of the battle but one I had difficulty photographing.
Couldn't get the light right and the full picture shows the overall paper color
to be brighter than it really is.  I tried a scan, the second pic, and  doesn't
cover the full image, the tone is darker than it really is ... I give up ... I'll just
say the actual tone of the paper is somewhere in between the two.
(the time-toning is due to the age of the cheap newsprint - 159 years)
