Nathan Bedford Forrest....
IF YOU'RE A CIVIL WAR ENTHUSIAST, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU ENJOY THE EXPLOITS OF THE CONFEDERATE GENERALS. CENTRAL CASTING COULD NOT HAVE COME UP WITH A MORE COLORFUL CAST OF CHARACTERS......AND, AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IS NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST, A MAN CELEBRATED FOR HIS AUDACIOUS FETES OF BRAVERY. (YOUR $64,000 QUESTION IS: HOW MANY HORSES WERE SHOT FROM UNDER HIM?)
HIS ELEGANT FULL-COLOR PORTRAIT IS JOINED BY A TRIO OF UNCANCELLED U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS. ON THE LEFT IS THE 1951 ISSUE COMMEMORATING UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS. THE 1962 STAMP ON THE RIGHT COMMEMORATES THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF SHILOH; THE MIDDLE STAMP ALSO COMMERATES THAT FAMOUS TENNESSEE BATTLE AND WAS ISSUED IN 1995 IN A SERIES OF 20 CIVIL WAR STAMPS.
MATTED IN GRAY, THIS PIECE IS SIZED TO FIT A STANDARD 11 X 14 FRAME. REMEMBER, WALL ART COLLECTIBLES ALWAYS MATS IN STANDARD SIZES TO ALLOW YOU THE FLEXIBILITY OF CHOOSING YOUR OWN FRAME.
