 Fan , One of the books on my shelf is Civil War Art. It is an oversized coffee table book . One of my favorites to look at. I love Winslow Homer period, but some of his Civil war works are right up there as my most favorite.
The one of the Confederate prisoners meeting the young Union officer <I think it is Barlow, is my favorite. I love those Rebs, their personalities just flow off the prints I have seen.

Waud's pictures are also favorite. A friend introduced me to Waud's work last year.

I do like some of the modern painters too. I posted last fall I had won a print of Jackson at Charlestown at the Civil War Round Table Conference. Still waiting to get a mat cut for it and framed. Always the same the picture is free in this case but the framing is expensive.

I would love to have a print of the Homer picture but can't seem to find one to buy. Always thought having it and the photo of the three Confederate prisoners at Gettysburg together would be a nice grouping on a wall.
