Civil War Engravings Union Commanders & Confederate Commanders Pair

There's history, and then there's the American Civil War: that painful, stubborn scar running straight through our national memory. These two late-19th/early-20th century engravings bring the Union and Confederate high commands face-to-face again, frozen beneath ornate architectural arches, framed like some grand, tragic opera where the stakes were the future of the Republic itself. On one sheet, the Union's stern visionaries gaze forward beneath Capitol-dome symbolism while Lincoln watches from his portrait like a weary father. On the other, the gray-coated Southern commanders gather under a classical arch, a tableau equal parts myth and melancholy.

They're companion images, conceived to be seen together. And regardless of which side someone's ancestors fought on, the pair makes a thunderous historical statement when displayed side-by-side.

Union Commanders Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, etc. Confederate Commanders Lee, Davis, Jackson, Longstreet, etc. Condition: Very clean prints with light toning from age; mats show edge wear. Visible image about 11x14 in; overall mat about 14x18 in. No major tears or stains visible.
