Description
Evocative etching, plate 32 from Edwin Forbes’s celebrated series offers a poignant and historically significant glimpse into the American Civil War era. The composition includes four distinct vignettes titled Gone off with the Yanks, A Land Flowing with Milk and Honey, A Scouting Party, and An Old Campaigner, featuring rich narrative details ranging from country farm scenes to the portrayal of an African American figure with a donkey. Forbes (1839–1895), a renowned American artist and battlefield sketcher, captures the complexity of the period with remarkable precision and humanity. The etching is housed in a deep, period-style wood frame measuring approximately 20 5/8 in. H x 28 7/8 in. W x 1/2 in. D and is presented in overall good condition, with minimal toning to the print and light wear to the frame.
