Chapin was a Civil War-era painter illustrator engraver especially noted for his Civil War illustrations and western scenes.  From 1843-45 Chapin traveled through the South as a correspondent for “Gleason’s Pictorial,” later becoming a commercial illustrator in New York, and later organized the Art Department for Harper’s Magazine, and later created drawing for the Patent Office in Washington, DC.

Superb signed painting of a climatic Gettysburg moment by an eminent Civil War artist. Attractively mounted.  [JP] [ph:L]
