FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED, New York, May 4, 1861
* 9th New York Infantry - Zouaves
* Colonel Rush Christopher Hawkins
* Beginning of the American Civil War
* Bombardment of Fort Sumter - Charleston
A very curious issue as the front page is considerably different from the other front page we've encountered in previous holdings of this title and date. This front page shows: "Recruiting for the New York Zouaves, Col. B. C. Hawkins" as well as: "The Flag of Fort Sumpter, As It Appeared After the Bombardment" with related articles.
The balance of the issue is the same as others of this title & date, including a doublepage print: "General View of Charleston Harbor During the Bombardment of Fort Sumpter" and two half-page illustrations from the interior of the fort.
Full page illustrations are: "The Rhode Island Regiment Leaving Providence, R. I." and "Extraordinary Scene in Tammany Hall Col. Wm Wilson's Zouaves Swearing to be True to the Stars and Stripes and to Go Through Baltimore or Die".
Another doublepage centerfold is: "Burning and Scuttling of the U. S. Ships, and Destruction of the government Buildings at Norfolk, Va., by Order of the Federal Government, April 21st, 1861".
The back page features a 1/4 page: "Burning of the Gunpowder Creek Railroad Bridge, on the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad, by the Maryland Secessionist."
Sixteen pages, very nice condition.
