Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:113271
Original Description:
Rare and wonderful, 1862 Currier & Ives Hand Colored Stone Lithograph of a Civil War Image of the Battle of Winchester including both United States of American and Confederate States of America Flags.
    This wonderful, small folio stone lithograph measures approx. 12 1/4” by 7 1/2” plus significant visible margins on all sides. It is titled "Genl. Shields at the Battle of Winchester, Va. 1862” and subtitled “The Battle was commenced on the afternoon of ...March 22nd at which time Genl. Shields while in the act of leading forward his men, was struck by the fragment of a Shell, which broke his arm above the elbow, and so far disabled him, that the next day he was obliged to give his orders for the battle while extended on his couch. His brave followers fought with such desperate valor, that they forced back the Rebel Army under Jackson, and drove them in flight from the field”.
    The Image depicts General James Shields in the center of the picture atop his horse, which is on its hind legs, after a cannon ball exploded nearby. The explosion wounded Sheilds. He is in the act of urging his soldiers forward. The bodies of two dead soldiers are strewn in the foreground. The Union Troops can be seen at the foreground left with the American Flag and the Confederate troops can be seen in the distance right with the “Stars and Bars”!!
    The actual story of the Battle of Winchester is not quite as positive for Union troops as depicted in this Image. After skirmishing with Major General Nathaniel P. Banks’s retreating army at Middletown and Newtown on May 24, Major General Stonewall Jackson’s division continued north on the Valley Pike toward Winchester. There, Banks was attempting to reorganize his army to defend the town. General Richard Ewell’s division converged on Winchester from the southeast using the Front Royal Pike. On May 25, Ewell attacked Camp Hill, while the Louisiana Brigade of Jackson’s division outflanked and overran the Union position on Bowers Hill. Panic spread through the Federal ranks, and many fled through Winchester. Banks’s army was soundly defeated and withdrew north across the Potomac River. This was a decisive battle in Jackson’s Valley Campaign.
     This outstanding, Civil War subject, Stone Lithograph is beautifully hand colored and carries the mark of the publisher and lithographer - Currier & Ives.
