Published in 1862, this historic work after Winslow Homer captures a pivotal moment of the American Civil War with the stark, journalistic precision of Classical Realism. Originally rendered as a wood engraving for Harper's Weekly, the composition documents the Union Cavalry and Artillery advancing up the Yorktown Turnpike. Homer’s mastery of light and shadow translates beautifully into this archival reproduction, preserving the urgent energy and historical gravity of the original illustration. Each format, including our canvas and paper editions, is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation suited for architecturally minded interiors.
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.
