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 pencil, lower right. A very good impression with strong colors.

Based on the same-titled painting by Rivers from 1961, which in turn was based on the 1956 article in Life magazine about Albert Woolson, the last Confederate soilder who passed away at 106 years old.
