"The First Day's Firing at Yorktown, April 1862." Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization, was an American political magazine that ran from 1857 to 1916. It covered the American Civil War quite extensively, and used renowned illustrators at the time, notably Winslow Homer, Granville Perkins, Porte Crayon, and Livingston Hopkins. Perhaps most famous, however, was political cartoonist Thomas Nast, who was known as the 'father of political cartooning'. This print is part of several in our collection from Harper's Weekly.
