This chromolithograph was done by Elijah C. Middleton in 1864

Lithograph shows Grant in the double-breasted uniform of a Lieutenant General. The print is clear and bright. The lithograph was done on paper and then attached to a canvas backing which was attached to a stretcher and then housed in an ornate gilt frame common to the period. These lithographs are so well done that over the years they have been mistaken for actual oil paintings. This one is in excellent shape with no blemishes.

The reverse of the canvas is marked “WARRANTED OIL COLORS. ENTERED ACCORDING TO ACT OF CONGRESS, IN THE YEAR 1864 BY E. C. MIDDLETON IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO, CINCINNATI”.

The wood frame is covered with plaster which was used to form the scrollwork decorations on the edge and the beaded inner border. Once the decoration was done the entire frame was painted with gold gilt. The frame is in good condition with minor edge chipping in places but nothing major.

Framed the item meas. approx. 19.00 x 23.00 inches.  [ad]
