    Description

    Here is an original print from the April 12, 1862 issue of Harper's Weekly that measures approx. 11 1/4" by 16".  Depicted are 9 vignettes of the Civil War ship with portraits of Lt. Commander William N. Jeffers and Chief Engineer Alban Stimers.  Other scenes show the Captain's Cabin, Turret Machinery, Berth Deck, Ready For Action, Interior of the Tower, Wheel House, Engine Room and the Ward-Room.  The reverse has an engraving of  the Rebel Steamer "Virginia" aka the "Merrimac", with an article on The Battle of Winchester.  There are some tiny holes along the bottom border from where it was once bound by string and the picture has ample borders and is suitable for framing which I'll leave up to you.  Thanks for looking at this auction.
