Here is a collection of ten full page prints taken from "Frank Leslie's Illustrated History of the Civil War" which carries several subtitles, including: "Village of Clarksburg, Western Virginia, Headquarters of General Rosecrans"; "Battle of Munfordville, KY., Sunday, September 14th, 1862 - The Confederates charging Through the Abatis in Front of the Fortifications near Green River"; "Rear Admiral Silas H. Stringham";"General John Buford"; "General Thomas L. Crittenden"; "General George W. Morgan"; "General John G. Foster"; "Battle of Antietam - Burnside's Division, Left Wing - Brilliant and Decisive Bayonet Charge of Hawkins's Zouaves, Colonel Kimball, on the Confederate Battery on the Hill, Right Bank of Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg, on the Afternoon of September 17th, 1862 - Utter Rout of the Confederates"; "Battle of Baker's Creek, May 16th - Defeat of the Confederates under Pemberton by General Grant"; "General Joseph Hooker"; "United States General Hospital, Hilton head, S. C. - Exterior and Interior"; "Admiral David G. Farragut"; "Battle of Chancellorsville, VA. - Attack on General Sedgwick's Corps, on Monday, May 4th, 1863, at 5 p.m., as Seen from Falmouth Heights"; and more.

This was a publication produced in 1895 dedicated: "To the brave soldiers who fought the battles herein pictured..."  and further noting that: "This work will be a supplement to every written history, portraying as it does the striking incidents of battle, and giviing the likenesses of the leaders whose names were on every lip in the days of strife. Here the veterans will find the past recalled & here the young may gain inspiration to emulate their patriotism and devotion.".

Each full page print measures about 11 by 16 inches and is printed upon newsprint which is of higher quality than the pulpish paper used by the daily newspapers of that era. Still quite white and not the least bit fragile.
