Intriguing Rebel Steam Ram ‘Atlanta’ print, 14.25 x 11, featuring an image of the vessel from the side and an aerial view. Caption below reads, “Captured June 17th, 1863, On Exhibition in front of Washington St., for the benefit of the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, Philad, November 1st, 1863.” In very good condition, with light toning, scattered light areas of soiling, an area of paper loss to the bottom left corner, creasing to the bottom right corner, and a trimmed top edge. The first Atlanta was a casemate southern ironclad, converted from a Scottish-built blockade runner serving in the Confederate Navy. She was captured in battle on the James River, Virginia and then served in the Union Navy for the duration of the Civil War. Before she was repaired in the Federal navy yard and commissioned again in 1864, she was displayed in Philadelphia for the benefit of the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, an organization which cared for thousands of Union soldiers as they passed through Philadelphia. The admission fees gathered from those viewing the boat were applied to the saloon and helped with the upkeep and growth of the hospital and other facilities.
