After John Trumbull.  “Battle at Bunker’s Hill.  (near Boston).” 

Hartford: E. C. Kellogg, ca. 1845.  8 3/8 x 12 ½ (image).  Lithograph.  Original hand color.  Time toning to print.  Not examined out of old frame and sold as is.  A/A

From about 1830 through the rest of the century, the Kellogg brothers, in various partnerships among themselves and with others, published popular lithographs in Hartford, Connecticut. These firms issued the second largest number of decorative prints intended for the American public, surpassed only by their New York rivals, Currier & Ives, producing thousands of lithographs, most hand-colored, which ended up in the homes and work places of Americans. The Kelloggs' prints were typical of the popular print style: colorful, affordable and with images covering much the same range of topics as those of their New York counterpart. Subjects included portraits, historical events, scenes of daily life, views, religious themes, politics, sports, animals, sentimental images and any other topic that might be of interest to the American public.
