After John Trumbull.  “The Battle Of Bunker’s Hill, June 17th 1775.”  From The United States Military Magazine. 

Philadelphia: Huddy & Duval, 1840.  Lithograph by A. Hoffy.  7 5/8 x 10 3/4 (image).  Narrow right hand margin and two repaired tears in left hand margin not affecting image.  Minor smudging in title area.  Print has been professionally conserved. Otherwise, very good condition.  Rare.  

The rare and fascinating magazine entitled, The United States Military Magazine and Record of all the Volunteers, together with the Army and Navy, was published in Philadelphia by Huddy & Duval from 1839 to 1841.  Volume I dealt with volunteer companies, volume II with the exploits of the United States Army & Navy, and volume III with more volunteers.  Issues were sold either colored for $1.00 or plain for 50 cents.  This is a fine rendering of Trumbull’s classic image of the Battle of Bunker’s Hill, lithographed by Alfred Hoffy, one of the leading American lithographers of the first part of the nineteenth century.
