This print,(Conningham 6338) “The U.S. Sloop of War ‘Kearsage’ 7 Guns Sinking the Pirate ‘Alabama’ 8 Guns …” is a lithograph on paper with hand coloring. The image size is 7 15/16” x 12” (small folio). The margins are at least ¾” except the top, which is 5/8”. There is a 7/16” repaired tear in the lower margin that does not extend into the legend. The image is very good – crisp and clear with no distracting defects. Some minor scuffs showing in “Kearsage” black smoke. This print was published in 1864 by Currier & Ives. It is framed with acid-free backing in a period frame that includes period glass with one noticeable bubble in the sky just to the right of the rigging of the “Kearsage.” It is classified in very good condition.
