March 18, 1865
HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, March 18, 1865
* Great Abraham Lincoln inauguration issue
* Historic prints
The entire front page is taken up with a very nice engraving captioned: "President Lincoln Taking the Oath At His Second Inauguration, March 4, 1865", showing just that. A great display issue as such.
An inside page has an article headed: "The President's Inaugural". The double page centerfold is captioned: "President Lincoln's Reinauguration at the Capitol" showing a huge throng of people in front of the Capitol (see photos).
This issue has many Civil War-related prints including those with captions: "Visit to Fort Sumter by General Gillmore & Staff" and a full page: "Marching On! The 55th Mass. Colored Regiment Singing John Brown's March in the Streets of Charleston" showing Black soldiers. Also full page: "Embarkation of Exchanged Union Prisoners at Aiken's Landing" and smaller prints: "Landing of General Potter's & Adm. Dahlgren's Troops at Bull's Bay, South Carolina" & "The Rebel General Ewell's Hqts. Four Miles from Charleston".
The centerfold is tipped-in at the right margin but with a few very tiny binding holes near the fold, almost unnoticeable. Otherwise the centerfold is in great condition.
Complete in 16 pages and in very nice condition.
