Kurz & Allison — Battle of Champion Hill
Date: 1887 (copyrighted 1887 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:
Depicting the May 16, 1863 engagement, this work emphasizes dynamic diagonal movement and layered terrain passages. The red uniform passages reveal sequential stone applications rather than mechanical screening.
The heavy wove paper supports dense pigment absorption, producing a matte, fiber-integrated surface consistent with 19th-century chromolithography.
The print demonstrates:
controlled compositional diagonals
rich earth-tone layering
visible lithographic grain
careful color registration
Provenance:
Original bound portfolio → VLAF
