From Battles of America by Sea and Land. New York: Johnson, Fry & Co., ca. 1860.  Octavo.  Ca. 6 ½ x 7.  Steel engraving.  Uncolored as originally issued. Light foxing in image and/or margins as to be expected.  

Alonzo Chappel was a historical painter and illustrator.  Born in New York in 1828 he studied at the National Academy and exhibited at the American Institute before he was seventeen.  He lived his whole life in the New York City vicinity before his death in 1887.  He is mainly known as an illustrator of historical books; the majority of these concerning the American Revolution and the Civil War.  Some of his paintings and prints can be found at the New York and Chicago Historical Societies.  This print is a good example of Chappel’s work.
