American artists and soldiers alike responded to the Civil War and its aftermath by producing a large body landscapes and genre scenes in drawings and prints that captured the war\'s impact on the American psyche. The rise of popular periodicals like Harper’s Weekly published engravings by some of America’s most famous artists like Winslow Homer.

Americans in both the North and South used art to gain news about individuals and events. They used the prints, paintings, photographs made during and after the war to remember and understand the most deadly conflict in American history. Civil War art traces the trajectory of the conflict and express the intense emotions that it provoked: unease as war became inevitable, optimism that a single battle might end the struggle, growing realization that fighting would be prolonged and bloody. Enthusiasm and worries alike surrounded emancipation and the concerns about how to reunify the nation after a period of grievous division.

Prints depicting the Civil War battles by Kurz and Allison and Louis Prang & Co are among the most sought after collectibles of Civil War enthusiasts. In spite of their lack of historical accuracy these prints (or details from them) are still used as book covers and iconic images of the Civil War.

Art Publisher Louis Prang & Cowere a major publisher of chromolithographs in the 19th century. Based in Boston, they built their reputation on large prints published in the mid-1880s depicting American scenes of daily life and battles of the American Civil War. This was a period of recollection among veterans, and the company was trying to capitalize on the sentiment.

**the giclee process produces a superior quality, fine art reproduction from a high-resolution digital file of an image. The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs.

As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
