Description
Civil War Recruitment: An Outstanding Large Poster from New Hampshire. This beauty features a classic American eagle carrying a streamer reading "Our Country's Flag Needs Defending." Dated July 12, 1862, it offers a $20 bounty from the command of the New Hampshire Volunteers, plus a month's pay in advance and an additional $100 bounty from the Federal Government to induce enlistment. As the rolls of casualties grew longer and longer, it became increasingly more difficult to entice young men into the service during the War.This attractive piece measures an impressive 25" x 32", and is in very nice display condition. Some minor staining & slight edge roughness near lower right hand corner detract minimally. Very minor professional reinforcement of small tears on verso, virtually undetectable from the front.
