HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, August 8, 1863
* Great Battle of Gettysburg battle scene
* General James Longstreet's attack
Certainly one of the more desired issues of the Civil War with the nice content on the Battle of Gettysburg. The front page has 2 prints: "Saluting the Old Flag at Port Hudson" and "The Formal Surrender of Port Hudson". Inside a 1/4 pg: "Siege of Vicksburg", shows huts on a hillside. Fullpg has two prints: "Port Hudson From the Opposite Bank of the River" and "The Union Forces Entering the Breast-Works to Take Possession of Port Hudson".
The premier print is the doublepage centerfold: "The Battle of Gettysburg--Longstreet's Attack Upon Our Left Centre--Bull Ridge in the Distance", a very dramatic scene, plus another full page with 2 scenes of the Battle of Gettysburg. "Attack of the Louisiana Tigers at the Battle of Gettysburg", and an article on it as well. Halfpg: "Army of the Potomac, Execution of three Deserters" and "Attack on Fort Wagner".
A very significant issue, 16 pages, in nice condition. A small address label is in the right margin/masthead area.
