A group portrait of Union commanders, this chromolithograph gathers a set of officers who led Federal forces between 1861 and 1865 into a single decorative sheet. It was issued in New York around 1884 by the Sherman Publishing Co., a firm that produced many color prints of this kind during the 1880s, when interest in the Civil War was strong among veterans and their families. Chromolithographs like this one were printed from a series of stones, one for each color, which made them affordable for parlor walls and helped shape a popular image of the war's leading generals. Because the record names the commanders only in its title, viewers interested in individual figures will want to check the print's inscriptions against period biographies.
