Item description from seller

1870-71. 1st edition. Two Fine engravings in very good frames. Images: 21" x 27". Double Elephant folio. Black and white portrait engravings, with hand coloring, in early 20th century wood frames with glaze. The engravings are strong and bright, without any soiling or toning to the paper. A Very Fine set. Not examined out of frames. Jackson is framed about 2" smaller than Lee. *** Hand color engraved portraits of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson, engraved by A.B. Walter from "A Photo From Life". Lee's portrait contains facsimile signatures of Lee and Pendleton. Jackson's portrait contain facsimile signatures of Jackson and Virginia Governor Letcher. Both works were commissioned to raise funds for monuments to these heroes of the Confederacy. The Lee Memorial Association was formed in 1870, and Jackson's Memorial Association was formed in 1871. Below each portrait is "Sold by authority of the Lee Memorial Association for the erection of a monument at the Tomb of Gen. Robt. E. Lee at Washington & Lee University Lexington Va." and "Sold by authority of the Jackson Monument Association for the purpose of erecting a Monument to the memory of Genl. Thomas J. Jackson at the Virginia Military Institute Lexington, Va." , respectively. The fund raising efforts eventually resulted in the recumbent statue of Lee by Edward Valentine in the expanded Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee in 1883 and the Jackson monument at VMI. ***.
