1866 HUGE Civil War Harper’s Pictorial History America Battles Guernsey
‘Harper’s Pictorial History’ is unquestionably one of the most iconic and popular illustrated American periodicals from the mid-19th-century. This issue features Alfred Guernsey’s famous account of the Civil War. Alongside the significant articles and anecdotes included in this work are a massive total of 998 illustrations depicting battle scenes, city views, maps, and of course portraits of iconic generals.
Per Eicher,
“this is the classic early pictorial history of the war. Drawn from the pages of Harper’s Weekly, the work offers not only a chronology of the war but a briefer treatment of the history of the United States with emphasis on the causes of the war… This work delivers the news of the war much as the civilians during the conflict experienced it, and it is therefore both touching and memorable.”
