Civil War Naval Commanders - Original Steel Engraving

Description

Offered here is an original steel engraving
of Union Naval Commanders published
in 1866
.
"Naval Commanders" is
a grouping of the
engraved images of nine Civil War naval officers, centered by Admiral David C. Farragut.
The page measures 8 3/4" x 5 3/8" overall with an 7 1/2" x 5" image size
.
This historical engraving was rescued from a falling-apart edition of
The History of the Civil War in America
[etc.] by John S.C. Abbott.
The great skill of the engraver has given the images an almost photographic appearance.
Digital photography doesn't do justice in presenting them.
The page shows natural age toning with some spots of foxing and a small moisture stain (old) on the upper right corner.  The blemishes only serve to attest to the age and authenticity of this engraving.
The engraving will be safely sent in an acid-free archival sleeve in which it can be stored long-term.
I combine shipping for purchases of two or more engravings.  The shipping charge would remain at .50.

Payment is required within 5 days of the close of the auction.  After that time I reserve the right to cancel the transaction and re-list the item.  I dislike having to do that, so please pay promptly.
