Three (3) Brand-New 11 x 14 inch full-color art prints from the US Army National Guard Bureau; painted very early in the career of military artist Don Troiani before his career really took off with his extensive Civil War work, followed by Rev War pieces.
The first print shows the 1st Minnesota attacking Confederate Brigades serving in James Longstreet's Confederate 1st Corps near the Emmitsburg Turnpike on the afternoon of 2 July 1863 at Gettysburg, PA. One of the officers is wearing a silver 2nd Corps badge on his left breast. You can see the Minnesota State Flag in the painting. The art work itself is 7 1/4 by 10 1/4 in size and just that could be framed if you wanted to do away with all the verbiage in the painting.
The print gives a description in the bottom portion of the print about the fighting on 2 July 1863. It was printed in 1984 exclusively for The National Guard Bureau for hanging in National Guard Headquarters building throughout the 50 states. These were available only to soldiers serving in the National Guard only. These statements apply to the other two prints I'm offering (4th Alabama at 1st Bull Run and Virginia Militia at Jamestown Colony).
The 2nd print shows Gen. Bernard Bee of SC in his US Army uniform ordering the 4th Alabama Infantry Regiment into action during the climactic stages of the 1st Battle of Manassas / Bull Run in July, 1861. For over an hour, the Fourth Alabama held its position and repulsed several Union regiments. As the regiment fell back, needing relief, Bee was killed after hollering the command, "There stands Jackson like a stone wall," referring to Thomas Jackson's Virginia Brigade on Henry Hill right behind Bee's withdrawing Alabamians.
You can clearly see Gen. Bee, on horseback waving his hat, wearing his US Army blue uniform; he'd only recently given up his commission in that Army in order to serve his native South land. The flag is a standard 1st National Flag, the Stars and Bars- which is NOT the flag that liberals so hate (the St. Andrews Cross). There are many ways you can frame this, including showing only the actual art work / painting.
The third print is a marvelous painting, one of Troiani's best, showing the Jamestown Colony having a drill of their militia. Think of it- the first National Guard ever in the history of our 50-state country. If you're a colonial fan, you'll love this print. All 3 of these prints can be framed and put in a hallway, or on the wall going down to a man-cave; even a reading-bathroom. They take up very little room as opposed to a standard Don Troiani painting which is about 28 by 26 inches or so in size.
