This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/15/2020
Lot consists of two military prints by Kunstler, framed and ready to hang. A) “’Until We Meet Again.’ Jackson’s Headquarters Winchester VA. Winter 1862.” Jackson says farewell to his wife as he leaves his headquarters of the Valley District in March 1862 for his famous Valley Campaign. A fire-lit snowy scene. The building today houses a museum devoted to Jackson. B) “’General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson’ Winchester Va May 25, 1862.” Citizens of Winchester welcome Jackson and his troops after his defeat of Union General Nathaniel Banks. Jackson remarked, “I do not remember having seen such rejoicing… the people seemed nearly frantic with joy…” Jackson’s victory diverted even more Union troops from McClellan’s advance on Richmond and gave Banks the unflattering nickname of “Commissary Banks” for the huge amount of supplies abandoned to Confederate forces. CONDITION: Both prints are excellent, professionally framed and matted with brass plaques at lower edge. Both are signed by Kunstler at lower margin with issue serial number. SR
