did drag home this 1895, abt 10 pound book. Over 500 pages of woodcut illustrations from the Civil War. Web shows value abt 300. The pics are quite nice , the one of Sherman galloping (levitating ?) past his admirers is a classic. :blink:
Frank Leslie's Illustrated History of the Civil War. New York: Mrs. Frank Leslie, (1895). Folio (12 by 16 inches), original gilt-stamped burgundy cloth, patterned endpapers.
First edition of this pictorial history of the Civil War, with hundreds of woodcuts originally used in Leslie's Civil War-era illustrated newspaper, many full-page or double-page.
Includes illustrations of major events, battle scenes, naval engagements, portraits of central participants, forts, and poignant episodes. In December of 1855, Frank Leslie "introduced Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, a weekly publication featuring news pictures... Events up to and including the Civil War created a growing demand for news and unprecedented opportunities for pictorial reporting. In 1857 Harper's Weekly entered the area, followed two years later by the New York Illustrated News. From 1861 to 1865 the images of the war were largely seen through these three publications... At the time there was no halftone engraving, and the only way war scenes could be published was in woodcuts such as those of the three illustrated weeklies" (ANB). Later in Leslie's life and following his death, works such as this one were compiled using the original Civil War woodcuts.
