ANTIQUE CHROMOLITHOGRAPH PRINT OF      H.A. OGDEN CIVIL WAR SCENES

This 114 year old chromolithograph print is from paintings by H.A, Ogden dated 1897.

H. A. Ogden (1856-1936) was an American illustrator particularly of historical and military subjects.  At the age of 17, he began work with Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. This allowed him to travel extensively around the United States and Europe. One visit to the American West in 1877 resulted in over 200 illustrations.

In 1881 he resigned from Leslie's to set up as a free-lance artist, submitting numerous illustrations to various newspapers and magazines. A number of these were illustrations of historical scenes, and Ogden's interest in early America and the Revolutionary War led him to his most ambitious project, to record the uniforms of the United States Army. .

Besides his work on the uniform series, Ogden was a prolific illustrator for books including The Pageant of America. He was a member of the New York Historical Society and the Illustrators Society, and was considered one of the leading authorities on colonial costume. He died in 1936 in New Jersey, at the age of 79.

This CHROMOLITHOGRAPH print is 10 " x 13 ".  It is signed in the print by Ogden. It is in very good condtion but the fold in the middle is noticable. It should dissappear when framed.. It is suitable for framing and would be an excellent gift for a print collector or civil war buff.

The print that is being sold is of "McCLELLAN AT ANTIETAM, SEPT. 17, 1862".
