Date: 1888 (copyrighted 1888 by Kurz & Allison) Medium: Multi-stone chromolithograph on heavy wove paper Image Size: 20 7/8 x 14 3/4 in. Sheet Size: 24 x 18 1/2 in.
Description: Representing the July 22, 1864 engagement, this composition is structured around strong diagonals and concentrated mid-field action. Smoke and atmospheric passages are constructed through layered gray stone impressions.
Under magnification, the surface reveals lithographic crayon texture and overlapping pigment passes rather than photomechanical dot screening.
The print reflects:
tight compositional intensity layered tonal construction clear multi-stone pigment alignment refined late-series chromolithographic production
