This is a large and heavy item and if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. Introduction by Major-General Joseph B. Carr. Frank Leslie (March 29, 1821 - January 10, 1880) was an English-born American engraver, illustrator, and publisher of family periodicals. In 1848 he came to the United States. He discovered he could accelerate the engraving process significantly by dividing a drawing into many small blocks and distributing the work among many engravers. A job on a large-format wood engraving which might have taken a month for a single wood engraver to complete, could be completed in a day by 30 engravers. In 1853, he arrived in New York City to engrave woodcuts for P. T. Barnum's short-lived Illustrated News. After its failure, he began publishing the first of his many illustrated journalistic ventures, Frank Leslie's Ladies' Gazette of Fashion and Fancy Needlework, with good woodcuts by Leslie & Hooper, a partnership which dissolved in 1854. The New York Journal soon followed, with Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper (1855), and many others. Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, which included news as well as fiction, survived until 1922. Illustrations made by Leslie and his artists on the battlefield during the American Civil War are well regarded for their historical value. He was commissioner to the Paris Exhibition of 1867 and received a prize there for his artistic services. One of the most distinguished forerunners of the illustrated magazine of today was Leslie's Weekly; soon after it was founded it attained a normal circulation of 100,000 copies, and this doubled or trebled whenever history gave it something sensational to portray. Undoubtedly, during the lifetime of the periodical there was no era more sensations and newsworthy than the Civil War; when it has as many as twelve correspondent at the front and sent its artist' corps to the scene to make skillful drawing and finely etched engravings of the most important events of the Conflict between the States. The more than 600 pictures in this volume have been reproduced from the original cuts made by Frank Leslie's war artists, and their accuracy and authenticity are guaranteed. They are supplements by maps and a succinct history of the war, which begins with the Dred Scott case, the raid at Harper's Ferry and the other incidents leading up to the conflagration and covers the ensuing period up the cessation of hostilities and the assassination of President Lincoln. Reprint Edition. First printing thus [stated].

Otherwise original covers and endpapers with new binding that has tightened the text block and made this copy ready for another one hundred years of reference and enjoyment to the collector and researcher. Some pages have a few very short edge tears. There are four sequential leaves that inexplicably have chipped edges but the chips do not affect the images or text on those pages. There is a very handsomely written ownership signature & date in broad pencil on a blank preliminary page, "April 1, 1895 William K. Hayes Bridgeport, Conn." Gilt on the cover is very good. There is some general wear & the right edge area of the front cover is darker than the rest of the cover. The rear cover has considerable old moisture stain/bleaching, and thus is compromised visually, but is clean and stable. Very scarce now in the first edition.
