Restoration of "Grant from West Point to Appomattox" (1885), by Thure de Thulstrup, published by L. Prang & Co, Boston.

Clockwise from lower left:

*In the tower at Chapultepec 1847
*Drilling his Volunteers 1861

*The Battle of Shiloh 1862
*The Siege of Vicksburg 1863
*The Battle of Chattanooga 1863
*Commander-in-Chief 1864
*The Surrender of Gen. Lee 1865

This covers the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War.

<b>Restoration notes</b>
Fairly standard stuff. Dirt, tears, smudges, colour, all that sort of thing fixed. Scan provided by the Library of Congress.

<b>Copyright status</b>
Without repeating things I've said a thousand times by now, this is a pre-1923 American work by Thure de Thulstrup (1848-1930), and hence the original is out of copyright. As a British citizen, I can claim a copyright on the restoration, but, really, just credit me for it.
