DESCRIPTION: Subtitled “Oct. 3 & 4, 1862. Union (Gen. Rosencrans) Loss: Gens. Hackleman, Kirby Smith & 315 Kd., 1812 Wd. & 232 Misg. Conf. (Gen. Van Dorn) Loss: Col. Rogers & 1424 Kd., 5000 Wd., 2268 Pris.” In the foreground, the 2nd Texas Infantry Regiment is shown attacking the 63rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Issued between 1884 and 1894, this print is part of the series of thirty-six Civil War battle scenes published by Kurz & Allison. Their chromolithographs were prized for their vivid if somewhat naive artistry—stylized panoramas of Union and Confederate forces rendered in “fishbowl” compositions, with figures treated in a manner reminiscent of the earlier popular lithographs of Currier & Ives.
