Broadside Print with 25 Portraits of Union Generals "THE UNION MUST BE PRESERVED"

1864-Dated, Civil War Broadside Print, THE NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS... NEW YORK HERALD..., NY, Very Fine.
This large size Broadside measure 22" x 16" (by sight) matted, boldly printed in black on a large, wove paper sheet. It depicts 25 different Portraits of different Union Generals, including Grant, Sherman, Meade, Butler, Hooker, Sickles and 19 others! The four-columns of verse describe battles fought the previous year. Some trivial separation along the quarterfolds repaired with tape on the blank reverse and some small surface hits are impressed at the certer left. The motto "THE UNION MUST BE PRESERVED" flows beneath a large central portrait of Grant just above a rendering of the "CONSTITUTION." This was given as a special gift to subscribers and readers of the Herald, as of January 1, 1864. Overall, this bold historic Broadside is quite impressive for display.
