About the Item

Presented is an antique wood engraving,"The Seventh Regiment Marching Down Broadway to Embark For the War." The composition depicts a jubilant parade scene on Broadway, in New York City, with troops from the Seventh Regiment marching down the street, while onlookers cheer from buildings’ windows and roofs, street posts, and sidewalks. Many American flags are proudly out on display, on buildings' flag poles or as hand wavers. Onlookers also wave handkerchiefs as the troops file pass, on their way to defend Washington. This wood engraving is from Vol I, page 91 of Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War. It was included in a chapter titled "The Uprising at the North," discussing the events of 1861. Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War, authored by Alfred H. Guernsey and Henry Mills Alden, is a significant two-volume work. Volume I was first published in 1866 and Volume II was published in 1868, printed by McDonnell Bros., in Chicago. It is celebrated for its extensive collection of wood-engraved illustrations, maps, and portraits documenting the American Civil War. Many of the stories and engravings were drawn with minimal alteration from Harper’s Weekly, the most widely read periodical of the era, preserving the immediacy of wartime reportage. As noted by Eicher, the “work delivers the news of the war much as the civilians during the conflict experienced it, and it is therefore both touching and memorable." Beyond a straightforward chronicle, the work places the war within the broader sweep of American history, offering thoughtful exploration of its causes and a level of analysis made possible only in the years following the war’s end. Harper's Weekly was one of the first American weekly newspapers to incorporate woodcut illustrations. By 1860 the circulation of Harper's Weekly reached 200,000 and it became the nation’s most influential newspaper. At the start of the Civil War, the newspaper did not want to lose readership, so it issued articles and illustrations from both Union and Confederate points of view and took a more moderate stance on abolition. Yet as the war progressed, that paper became increasingly pro-Union and a staunch supporter of the Republican party and Lincoln. Its war reporting and illustrations informed the Northern populace of key battles, troop movements, covered political events and elections, and convinced many to support abolition.
