Fording a River and A Halt for Twenty Minutes
| Description: |
In 1861 Edwin Forbes was hired as a staff artist by Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper. He covered the Army of the Potomac from 1862-1864, and was known for his ability to draw quickly. His primary interest was in recording the everyday activity of soldiers. Fording a River and A Halt for Twenty Minutes, plate 38, is from his publication Thirty Years After: an Artists Story of the Great War, Told and Illustrated with Nearly 300 Relief-Etchings after Sketches in the Field, and 20 Half-Tone Equestrian Portraits from Original Oil Paintings.
