Confederate Image: Prints of the Lost Cause - Mark E. Neely - Paperback

First published in 1987, "The Confederate Image" examines the popular lithographs and engravings cherished by Southerners during and after the Civil War. These images helped sustain and revive Southern identity following the collapse of the Confederacy. (Though, ironically, most were actually crafted by Northern artisans.) The book focuses on prints of the three most prominent Southern figures of the conflict--Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson--but also discusses prints of other important Confederates as well as the contributions of the short-lived "Southern Illustrated News."Neely, Mark E., Jr. is the author of 'Confederate Image: Prints of the Lost Cause - Mark E. Neely - Paperback' with ISBN 9780807841976 and ISBN 0807841978.
