Stonewall Jackson Lithograph Appraisal

"The Last Meeting" - General Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson Lithograph

This item is a framed lithographic print titled "The Last Meeting," depicting Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson on horseback prior to the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863. The artwork is rendered in a traditional representational style with a palette of muted earth tones, featuring Lee on a white horse (Traveller) and Jackson on a sorrel mount. The composition includes a gathering of soldiers in the background under a cloudy sky. The print is housed in a dark wood frame with a mahogany finish and is double-matted. The outer mat features a grey marbleized pattern, while a thin blue inner mat accents the image. The title "THE LAST MEETING" is clearly printed in the bottom margin alongside descriptive text. While based on the 1869 painting by Everett B.D. Fabrino Julio, the visible print surface shows a modern smooth texture rather than a heavy tooth or physical plate mark, suggesting this is a modern 20th-century decorative offset lithograph reproduction rather than a 19th-century original engraving. The condition appears fair to good; there are visible reflection spots from glass, and the paper shows some uniform yellowing consistent with age. Minor debris is visible behind the glass at the bottom right corner of the print margin. The framing style is typical of mid-to-late 20th-century commercial production.
