HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, June 10, 1865

  • "Johnny comes marching home" to Washington
  • The Final March: Grand  Review of the Armies
  • Gettysburg hero General George Meade & more

The full front page is a nice print of: "The Grand Review at Washington--General Meade & Staff Passing the Principal Stand" during a parade of returning Civil War soldiers. Another prime item is the tipped-in (no binding holes), double page centerfold by Thomas Nast, titled: "Victory And Death" showing six vignettes of the somber side of war. There is a small smudge here.
Other prints within include a full page with 2 prints on: "Grand Review At Washington--Public School Children Greeting the Soldiers..." and: "...Sheridan's Cavalry Passing Down Capital Hill" showing the parade; a full page: "Grand Review at Washington--Sheridan's Cavalry Passing Through Pennsylvania Avenue" and another full page: "Grand Review of the National Armies at Washington--General Sherman's Veterans Marching Through Pennsylvania Ave."; a smaller print of: "...Sherman's Veterans Crossing Long Bridge" and yet smaller prints of: "Davis's Cell at Fortress Monroe" and "Corridor Leading to Davis's Cell in Fortress Monroe", and "David G. Harold".
The back page has a cartoon: "A Natural Objection".
Complete in sixteen pages.
