^#1695 ^Lot 1755 Harper’s Weekly

Excellent collection of approximately 50 original copies of Harper’s Weekly, spanning July 13, 1861 through December 23, 1865, each measuring approximately 11.25 x 16. Half of the periodicals are housed in a hardcover portfolio, while the other half are presented individually. Each issue boasts several of the exacting, dramatic illustrations for which the publication is so well known and revered, and that much more so, given the harrowing—and exalting—timeline of war. In very good condition, with scattered light toning, spotting and soiling, creasing, and some tears and rough edges.
