LARRY RIVERS
Last Civil War Veteran.

Color screenprint and collage on board, 1970. 735x500 mm; 29x19 1/2 inches (sheet), full margins. Edition of 100. Signed in blue ink, lower right. A very good impression with strong colors.

Based on the same-titled painting by Rivers (1923-2002) from 1961, which in turn derived from the 1956 article in Life magazine about Albert Woolson, the last Confederate soldier who passed away at 106 years old.
