With an Absence of Historical Veracity
(CIVIL WAR). Surrender of Gen. Lee. Elephant folio black & white lithograph, without imprint. N.p: Ca. 1865. Backed. Small tears at top & bottom (north & south), one of each, in margin plus one and two inches of image. Slight hint of foxing in one spot. Extremely nice. $350.00
Visually a very appealing lithograph of Lee and Grant in the foreground beneath a large tree, each with two dour aides, Grant holding out the surrender papers, a swirl of organized horsemen in the background on each side. Without any printed information beyond the title. Artist unknown, historically inaccurate, early and appealing. Carriage extra.
