Description
Chromolithograph depicts the Siege of Vicksburg. The print features the Union Army charging out of a trench in the foreground toward the Confederate Army stationed behind a hill in the background. The scene is chaotic with soldiers suffering injuries and clouds of gun or cannon smoke dotting the landscape. Both armies' flags are pictured. For more information on this and other Prang Civil War chromolithographs, see Prang's Civil War Pictures: the Complete Battle Chromos of Louis Prang with the Full "Descriptive Texts" edited and with an introduction by Harold Holzer.
