FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, New York, November 25, 1865 Several prints on the execution of Henry Wirz, the Andersonville Prison warden found guilty of cruelty. Among them are a ftpg. of: "Preparing the Prisoner For Execution--Putting on the Black Robe" and also: "Interior of Wirz's Room Just as He Left It." There is also a full page print captioned: "Execution of Captain Wirz At Washington, Friday, Nov. 10" showing a large crowd surrounding the scaffold, with Wirz on it and the noose around his neck (see).
An unrelated print within shows: "Fort Union, Washington Territory, Abode of the St. Louis Fur Company." Sixteen pages, minor dirtiness near the margins, generally nice condition.
