Peter Copeland. "5th Pennsylvania Battalion 1776." Ink on illustration board, 28 1/2 x 23 inches; signed "Copeland/61/67" in lower left; conservation matted. A soldier admires a rifled wall gun made by the Rappahannock Forge, most of the 5PB buttons still remaining on his tattered regimental coat, while a much better turned-out (and comely) camp follower looks on. Holst/Copeland historical notes on the figure from the print series attached to reverse. For information about the artist, please refer to the notes in the previous lot. CONDITION: scattered foxing on the artist's board, with one spot of white-out work by the artist in the title.
