A handsome portrait of Gen. Thomas J. Jackson (1824-1863), popularly known as Stonewall Jackson, produced in the mezzotint process by William Sartain (1843-1924). Sartain, along with his father John, was the foremost American practitioner of this elaborate printmaking process for the production of historical prints.
The image is based on an ambrotype by Daniel T. Crowell, and printed after the cessation of hostilities. Prints that were sympathetic to the Confederacy and its leaders were not allowed to be published in northern cities during the war. After 1865 there was a market, especially in the South for images of Confederate heroes. $750
