    Description

    A print showing a portrait of famed Confederate General
    Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, with a smaller print below showing the point of his mortal wounding.
    The print is labeled "From and ambrotype by Brady" and "Expressly for this work" to each side of the smaller print.  Just below that it is labeled "Stonewall Jackson Mortally Wounded"
    Most of these prints in this collection were by John Rogers, but this one is not labeled as such.
    Caption from the publishers beneath his signature is:
    "Entered According to act of Congress AD 1865 by Virtue & Yorston, in the clerk's office of the district court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York"
    "George C. Virtue (1794 – 8 December 1868) was a 19th-century London-based publisher. His publishing house was located at 26 Ivy Lane, Paternoster Row.
    When Virtue retired from his publishing business in 1855, his second son, James Sprent Virtue, took over the business, having spent many years in the United States overseeing the Virtue's New York publishing house.
    In 1861, the youngest son, William Alexander Virtue (d.1875), was promoted to Lieutenant, vice Turney, with the 39th Middlesex Rifle Volunteer Corps. In 1865, he became a partner in the Virtue's City Road and Ivy Lane publishing houses before moving to the United States and taking over the Virtue's New York publishing house, including "Virtue and Yorston" with Charles H. Yorston."
