Interesting Question - But, I'm afraid I have a not so interesting answer. Above my desk - Rocco's "Artillery Forward" on other walls - Photo's of my gggrandfather; a photo of Lt. John Otto, his section Lt.: also a photo of the battery commander ( Capt. Arnold Sutermeister) with two of his NCO's. Lots of little "stuff" scattered about, minie balls, a small brass cannon or two, and then some WWII photos. I appreciate the CW art that is out there, but I guess when I question myself as to why I don't have more, all I have to do is look at my bookshelves for the answer. I spend the money on books instead. Regards, Dave Gorski

Bookshelves, bookcase and windows. One Chamberlain's bayonet charge rendered on 4" square wall tiles. One lovingly cross-stitched and framed "Creative Minds are Rarely Tidy." (Was she trying to make a point?) Ole

I spend enough on books. Artwork would do my spouse in. I would be told to get some colored pencils, poster board and make my own. I have a framed copy of a tintype of my gggrandpa who was with the 78th Ohio. My walls are bare but I do have books with art in it if that counts. Fuller

Evening all. Surprisingly where I type from, there is really nothing CW related hanging on the walls. Most of the stuff I have here is spread out in a couple of rooms upstairs. As for prints, I do have 2 that are framed and hanging on the walls. The Review At Moss Neck by Mort Kunstler depicts the review of Stuart's Cavalry in the Fredericksburg area on January 20, 1863. I also have Time to Fight by Dale Gallon, which depicts General John Reynolds on the Emmittsburg Road on the morning of July 1, 1863. Sadly, I have yet to frame the 2 prints I bought at the muster in Kansas and Missouri a few years back. Had thought at that time I was going to be moving, but then events here did not allow for that to happen. The 2 prints by Andy Thomas depict the Battle Of Pea Ridge, and The Battle of Westport. I hope to get them framed and hung on the walls here in 2007. 2 of my favorite pieces come from Gary Casteel. They are exact copies of the monuments to the 12th and 13th NJ that are located on the Battlefield at Gettysburg. I also have a set of Confederate Generals that features them on horseback and includes art from John Paul Strain. The latest addition here is a small statue that depicts Pickett's Charge, which comes from the same company as the CSA Generals series. Like Dave Gorski, I tend to spend more money on books, but every now and then, if I see something art wise that hits the eye here, I will add it to my collection. I truly hope that somewhere down the road I get to build my dream house, and in that house to build a room that will be entirely focused on all things CW related that I own here. Hope all are well.

My walls are full of pervious interest that still hold my interest. I too have been investing in books rather than Civil War Art. I did win a print of Jackson at Charlestown Railway station in the rain. by John Paul StrainI now have to get it framed. It will take the place of some smaller items that will move. The walls that don't have bookcases on them have a Rosetti print of Persephone , a water color of Venice I bought when I was there, a R.C. Gorman print of a Navajo woman and a wall of orginal art done by friends, first graders and photographs of my former students. I also have a large wooden S that was a gift from a friend back in the Mary Tyer Moore days. She had her M , I have an S. I do have a cdv of Farragut display on a bookcase, a plate from the Museum of the Confederacy along with other plates from Virginia all small in a holder . I have a print of the photograph of Cleburne that will be hung soon. I just framed it . It will hang with a wood block print of Kit Carson and a print of Napoleon.

Well, folks and friends. After reading about the collections the rest of you have posted, I must join in with my astounding and amazing CW memorabilia. In the kitchen, a framed print of a pen-and-ink drawing of a Norfolk & Western Railroad steam locomotive, ca. 1946, hauling a load of coal through Lynchburg, VA. How's that related to the Civil War? A lot, in my opinion. It was given to me by the artist, who is a volunteer CW artillery reenactor with the NPS in the Richmond area. He's a member of the Richmond model train club. I'm very proud to have John's drawing. We met at Tredegar Iron Works, and a couple of times at other living history events in Petersburg and Yorktown. Taped to a kitchen cabinet: a poster announcing Bob Macomber's book signing party in Fairfax in October. (He's PHP, as ks mentioned.) It has an enlargement of his same picture as on his website, robertmacomber.com. An Affair of Honor is the fifth in his series of novels about a Civil War US Navy officer and his later career around the world. Also in the kitchen, on the little cork board above the wall phone, are two tiny clear plastic bags.
The rest of my wall stuff is pictures, wall hangings, sculptures, etc., from South America. My husband spent 16 years there, and later, after we got married, I had a two-year assignment in Caracas. Most of these things are from Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Guatemala.
Family pictures, too, of course. But most of the wall space is taken up with bookcases. I really have to do some serious removal. I don't want his science-fiction paperbacks when I need room for my CW books, for pete's sake! Patty la Viuda Wheeler Last edited on Thu Dec 21st, 2006 12:30 am by Widow |

In June of 2005 I purchased a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle in either Natchez or Vicksburg, titled "The Civil War" and gave it to my Mother & Stepfather last Christmas. They put it together, had it framed and it hung in their living room for almost a year. Can you say regift? It is now haning in MY living room, a treasured gift from Christmas 2006  Hanging opposite is a new plaque that says "People who don't love cats muct have been mice in their previous life." Best regards, Jana

Patty your collection sounds interesting . Sounds like many of the things are reminders of good memories. Besides the prints and books I have in several spots in my house displays of tacky snowglobes. The ones that can be bought at various places that are visited. Some are Civil War related. Others just places I have visited. There are also larger ones that are gifts from friends for Christmas the last few years. Three are very special as my nephew has decided he is on a hunt for the tackiest snow globe of the large Christmas variety he can find. It is in return for all the years I have bought him Tacky underwear for Christmas. He wouldn't tell me what he wanted one year. One of these days I will have to count the globes to see how many I have. One of my favorites is filled with sand instead of snow and water. There are three small figures and a mission in it. One figure has a sword. Can you guess where it is from?

I don't have much in Civil War pictures on the walls, I've seen a lot of prints I like, but I could never make myself pay the price for what is basically a paper poster. I did get a jigsaw puzzle not too long ago called "Plan For Victory" with Lee, Jackson, & Stuart, and after I put it together, I glued it and framed it, so that's hanging on the wall. In my den, I also have a collector's plate with a picture of Forrest, a picture of Jeff Davis, and couple replica pistols - oh, and a picture of myself in a Confederate uniform taken at one of those places that takes pictures of you in period costume (see avatar). I like smaller decorative items. I have a nice Bradford Exc. clock, and a cannon, a couple cast iron soldiers, a bust of Jeff Davis, a half dozen collector's plates in the hutch, and a few not so small statues. I would probably have more of that type of stuff, but that can get expensive, and there are still so many more books on my "to get" list. Last edited on Tue Jul 6th, 2010 03:24 am by blueshawk1 |
