which were possessed BY only q few arta
lists.
The figures are treated with almost ne
background. and only few accessories
appropriate 70 the branrh Of the service
| represented.
The Cavalryman II about to saddle HE
horse; has bis bride in his hand. whilst
the saddle is on a limb near by. and. near
It, lie his rolled blanket and sabre.
The Infantryman In equipped with roll
ed blanket over his shoulder, belt. bay
onet and canteen, etc. He has stopped
his pipe. and supports his rife IN the h0l-
low Of his elbow, in order 20 have beth
hands free.
The Artilleryman is an officer. Hs
stands on the slight slope OF a breast
work. and signals to the gunnerg 10 ra~
serve their fire until he can observe tins
enemy with his field-glass. The smoke
drifting by indicates that the gun near
him has just been fired.
1t win be seen that attention Is concen~
trated on the figures alone. and that there
IL no intention Of representing Incident.
There Is no newess about the ''outfit, Of
service.
The figures are Of the light-haired and
dark-haired types-two OF them. Ths Ar
tilleryman's hair Is iron-gray. a. there
were numbers OF middle-aged men In the
Confederate service who should not SO
unrepresented In this series. The period
to which the figures belong Is tina CAM
paign OF 1853.
These pictures are sold for the bfneft
OF the Jefferson Davis Monumsnt We
have no agents; the work IL done ~ the
Chapters. II Is hoped that every Camp

sary that the younger people Of the South
