ANTIQUE1886 CIVIL WAR LITHOGRAPH
PICTURE IS THE BATTLE OF CHATTANOOGA-CIVIL WAR, MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER FOUGHT IN THIS BATTLE-
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR HE PURCHASED THIS LITHOGRAPH BY FAMOUS PAINTER OF THE DAY-THULSTRUP-COPYRIGHT 1886 L. PRANG & CO. BOSTON,
HE TOOK THE PICTURE TO A MEETING OF THE GRAND REPUBLIC OF THE UNION TO SHOW OFF THE BATTLE SCENE, AFTER THE MEETING HE ROLLED UP/FOLDED THE LITHOGRAPH AND PUT IT IN AN INSIDE POCKET OF HIS CIVIL WAR UNIFORM THAT HE HAD WORN TO THE REUNION. THE LITHOGRAPH WAS DISCOVERED STILL INSIDE HIS CIVIL WAR UNIFORM ABOUT 40 YEARS AFTER HE PASSED. MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED IT DOWN TO MY MOTHER AND ABOUT 35 YEARS AGO MY MOTHER PASSED IT ON TO ME.
BECAUSE OF IT BEING FOLDED UP IN HIS CIVIL WAR UNIFORM FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, IT HAS A CREASE ABOUT EVERY 2.5 INCHES-HORIZONTALY ACROSS THE PAINTING/LITHO.
BUT IT REALLY LOOKS SPECIAL FRAMED UP AND WITH ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND BACKGROUND STORY. IT WAS FRAMED BY MY GRANDMOTHER IN THE 1950\'S OR 60\'S, THE FRAME IS A VERY SIMPLE OLD OAK FRAME. LITHO IS 23X17\" AND FRAME IS 26X19.5\"
