"These pictures constitute the first illustrations, in colors, ever issued in America on this subject, and their superiority over black and white prints, in illustrating military scenes, is at once apparent; for the flags and the uniforms of officers and troops are vividly reproduced, the fire and smoke of battle graphically portrayed, and all the surroundings represented in colors of nature and of actual war" -- Prang.
