Description

Camp Slifer
March of Troops from Chambersburgh
(American Civil War, Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization,
Camp Slifer, Chambersburg, Philadelphia, military parade, Franklin Hotel, D. Trostle,
3rd Brigade
)
Issued 1861, New York, by Harper & Brothers.
Original antique offset printed image produced during the American Civil War. An actual printed leaf taken from this scarce old periodical, published at the date listed. Full page print depicts two bordered images depicting a bird's eye view of Camp Slifer as well as a military parade of troops marching through Chambersburg, Philadelphia. Details include the Franklin Hotel sign as well as military wagons labeled, "US No 380", US No. 309", Staff 3rd Brigade.
The newspaper leaf includes other interesting captioned images and headlines including:
The Veracity of Traitors.
Involuntary Spies.
Humors of the Day.
The Just and Holy Cause of Slavery.
Governor Magoffin's Neutrality  means hold the Cock of the Walk (Uncle Sam) while the Confederate Cat (Jeff Davis) kills off his Chickens. [Accompanying a small woodcut of cats and chickens fighting.]
A nice looking example of printed, ephemeral history with a pleasing age patina. Any minor age flaws are easy to forgive and add to its antique aesthetic. Text, images, and/or advertisements on reverse as issued. An elusive image, worthy of display. Provided photos show the front and back of the item, not two discrete prints.
Mounted and framed, this piece would make an excellent decoration for your home, restaurant, office, classroom, or any other space where people appreciate the vintage aesthetic of antique printed history.
Measures 16"H x 11"W
