Additional Details

A large lithograph view of the prison and environs, with vignettes on three sides and a detailed key. O'Dea was a veteran of the 16th Maine Infantry, apparently the Union's most artistic regiment (see preceding lot). An Andersonville survivor, he spent 6 years working on the drawing for this lithograph, which remains an important primary source on the war's most infamous prison. An attractive and stabilized copy of a fragile print.
