Winslow Homer Civil War Art:Union Picket Duty in the Woods This illustration is from the June 7, 1862 edition of Harper's Weekly. The illustration shows a group of Union Soldiers on their stomachs in the woods. The illustration is not signed by Homer, but the piece is attributed to him in the caption. The caption reads, "The Army of the Potomac - Our Outlying Picket in the Woods. - Sketched by Mr. W. Homer." The illustration is a nice scene in typical Homer style. |
