Our Police Faithful Unto Death 1879 Size:18x24 The Extreme Left

The Extreme Left

where a routed Union army turned at the sound of one general's horse and pressed Early's Confederates into the smoke of the Shenandoah's last great reckoning

a denominational census rendered in the grave decorum of post-war American religion

The print carries the Jacksonian creed forward into a decade that would test every inch of it

rendered in the sober lithographic register reserved for men whose vocations crossed both ocean and color line in the long aftermath of the war

Our Police Faithful Unto Death 1879 Size:18x24 The Extreme LeftOur Police Faithful Unto Death 1879 reads as a civic eulogy in lithograph form a Gilded Age tribute to officers fallen in the line of duty, their names and badges rendered with the solemn pageantry a young republic reserved for its uniformed dead.
