Found in a Grand Army of the Republic lodge near Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire
Collection of Jeffrey Kenneth Kohn, MD.
Note
Organized in New York City as an infantry, the regiment was converted to engineers in October of 1861. The consignor believes that the quality, materials and techniques used in the painting on this standard strongly suggest that it was created by the same hands that made the Civil War Regimental standards.
