Winslow Homer Civil War Pictures: 1864

Winslow Homer Civil War Art:

The Undisputed 1864 Civil War Winslow Homer Collection

By the year 1864, Homer's illustrations for Harper's Weekly slowed to a trickle. After the war he continued to submit illustrations to them, and many of his finest works appeared first in Harper's Weekly. I do not know why there are such few examples of Homer's work in 1864. Perhaps there are more "hidden" examples which he did not sign, or perhaps other matters prevented him from completing more work. If you have ideas, please email me.

The images above represent the work of Winslow Homer appearing in the year 1864 in Harper's Weekly. These are the images that are not in dispute, either because they are signed by Homer, or referred to in the newspaper as his work, or the work of the Harper's Weekly "special artist", a designator given to Winslow Homer. We are hopeful that you enjoy this work, and that the resources we are making available here are useful to you.
