Siege of Atlanta, lithographic print by L. Prang & Co. from a work of Thure de Thulstrup, c. 1888.
Depicted here is Major General William Tecumseh Sherman observing the field at the siege of Atlanta, part of the Atlanta Campaign in the American Civil War, in which Confederate forces were ultimately made to abandon the city, boosting Federal moral, contributing to Abraham Lincoln's re-election, and leading to Sherman's March to the Sea to degrade the South's will and ability to stay in the fight.
