    Description

    From the (1894) Preface: "The pictures in this book have been reproduced from the original cuts made by Frank Leslie's corps of artists. They were taken from his publications because of their assured authenticity.  They were drawn and engraved directly from sketches made on the scene of battle by the most famous artists of the time, and can therefore be relied upon as absolutely accurate.  They are really the most authentic war illustrations that have ever been published."
    Amazing scenes of both major and minor battles and naval engagements of the Civil War. There are also many images of everyday life at that time - parasols, hoop skirts, large plantations. This impressive book weighs almost 8 lbs. and measures 16 X 11 inches. Many of the images are full page and would look striking in a frame.
    Mathew Brady began taking the first American photographs during the Civil War years, so this book represents the last of an expensive and labor-intensive method of capturing war and it's after effects.
