Published in 1862 during the height of the American Civil War, 'The War for the Union, 1862 - A Bayonet Charge' stands as a monumental work of Classical Realism after Winslow Homer. Originally created as a wood engraving for Harper's Weekly, this powerful composition captures the raw, kinetic energy and psychological gravity of conflict with architectural precision. Homer's masterful draftsmanship is preserved in this meticulous reproduction, capturing the dramatic tonal contrasts and intricate linework of the original engraving. Every format, including our premium canvas, is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors its historical significance.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
