Thomas Nast's Original "Rebel Guerrillas" Print

You are viewing an incredible Civil War illustration by Thomas Nast.  It is entitled "Trapping Rebel Guerrillas in the West".  It is an original leaf from an 1863 Harper's Weekly newspaper, and demonstrates Thomas Nast's work as a Civil War Illustrator. 

The illustration shows two soldiers in the fork of a tree, both armed with rifles.  Down in the grass we see two rebel soldiers peering out.  The union soldiers in the top of the tree have apparently set a trap, with what appears to be an un-attended camp full of useful items.  No doubt the soldiers in the tree plan on taking the Rebel's out as soon as they emerge from the grass.  This is a detailed drawing, showing the unmistakable Nast attention to detail. Thomas Nast's distinctive signature can be seen in the lower right of the image.  This is a dramatic and impressive Civil War illustration.
