Confederate War EtchingsAdelbert J. Volck, c.1880[VOLCK, Adelbert J. (1828-1912).] Confederate War Etchings. [Philadelphia. c.1880.] The second edition of Volck's famous collection of Civil War etchings. This is the second edition, reissuing work that first appeared in the first and second series issued by subscription between 1861 and 1864, under the name "V. Blada." The first series was entitled Sketches from the Civil War. It contained thirty etchings and was suppressed because its content bordered on treason. A second series was issued sometime before the end of the war, bringing the total number of etchings to forty-five. However, the wartime issues are rare to the point of extinction, and none have appeared on the market in modern times. This set is the reissue as described by Howes, generally thought to be done in the 1880's; the label on the cover indicates that this is no. 69 of 100 copies printed. Howes V-138. Folio (290 x 380mm). Index leaf, correctly issued without title page, and 29 line etchings on India paper (occasional foxing and marginal wear). Laid in loose to blue speckled paper boards with cloth backstrip (worn at extremities, torn along backstrip and nearly separated). Cloth clamshell.
