About the Item

Two framed prints are 19th-century engravings from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, a significant publication during the Civil War era that visually documented important events for the public. The prints are professionally framed and matted in complementary woodgrain frames, making them ready to hang and display. "The Battle of Newberne North Carolina - Final and Successful Charge of the National Troops on the Rebel Fortifications, their Capture and Utter Rout of the Rebel Army, March 14, 1862". Published as a supplement to Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, April 5, 1862. This historical engraving vividly captures the intense battle scene during the Union's successful campaign to seize New Bern, North Carolina, from Confederate forces. Features intricate detail, including soldiers in action and the Union flag prominently displayed. "Surrender of Fort Donelson, February 16, 1862. View of Principal Fortifications, including the Water Batteries. National Gunboats on the Cumberland River, and Town of Dover - Exhibition of White Flags on the Works - National Troops Marching to occupy the Fortifications". This engraving depicts the aftermath of the Union's victory at Fort Donelson, showcasing troops advancing and the surrendering Confederate forces.

C. 1625 After Antoine de Pluvinel, "Henry IV, Mounted", Hand Colored Engraving
Located in Morristown, NJ
Early 17th century, French hand colored equestrian engraving. After Antoine de Pluvinel (French, 1552-1620), "Henry IV, Mounted", figure 42 from "L'Instruction du Roy en l'Exercice de Monter a Cheval", c. 1625, matted and framed under UF-3 plexiglass (blocks approx. 97% of UV) , gallery label verso. Figures from this publication have sold at Christie's. Those were not hand colored. A highly detailed engraving with the French King Henry 1V the central figure. Mounted on horseback, Le Roy (the King) is watched by no less than 10 courtiers some of whom are mounted on horseback, all of which are named in the engraving. Antoine de Pluvinel (1552, Crest, Dauphine - 24 August 1620) was the first of the French riding masters, and has had great influence on modern dressage. He wrote L’Instruction du Roy en L'exercice de Monter à Cheval ("instruction of the King in the art of riding"), was tutor to King Louis XIII, and is credited with the invention of using two pillars, as well as using shoulder-in to increase suppleness. In 1594, Pluvinel founded the "Academie d'Equitation" near what is now Place des Pyramides. There, the French nobility was trained not only in horsemanship, but also in all the accomplishments (dancing, fashionable dressing, etc.) It can be said that Pluvinel's influence on the aristocracy lasted from the late 16th century to the 17th century. Richelieu, the future Prime Minister of King Louis XIII attended the Academie; so did William, Duke of Cavendish. Pluvinel's book was published posthumously by the Flemish engraver Crispijn van de Passe II and the royal valet de chambre...
