74th New York Soldier's Memorial
<B>74th New York “Excelsior Brigade” Soldier's Memorial.</B></I> Lithograph, copyright 1863, 17.5” x 21”, framed under glass to an overall size of 24.5” x 28”, in a contemporary gesso on wood frame with gilt floral design, in good condition. This memorial roster is for Co. "G", 74th Regiment of the New York State Volunteers, “Excelsior Brigade”. The memorial lists the status of men from the regiment to shortly after the battle at Gettysburg. In addition to listing those men killed and missing, it also lists deserters, men who were transferred from the regiment, and men who mustered out due to disabilities. The original owner has affixed four period images of soldiers to the memorial, most notably that of General George McClellan excised from a CDV and placed beneath the eagle at the top. The lithograph has a 12” x 18” area of ghosting, the result of contact with high acid content paper, on the central image, but the printing is still clearly legible. The frame is missing small portions of the gesso at the upper left and lower right corners and a few small chips along the edge of the frame. Important for research and excellent for display.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Medium (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
