Posted by   Published in 19th Century (1840-1880), Images Themes:

The Becker Collection is a great digital project from Boston College that contains over 600 drawings by Joseph Becker and others who worked for Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Weekly. The “Featured Images” slideshow provides a nice introduction to what is available in the collection. These drawings cover a range of Civil War related topics, such as camp life, military ceremonies and discipline, panoramas and landscapes, and ships. Other topics include the Chicago fire, political cartoons, and the Trans-Atlantic cable. Biographies of the artists featured in this collection are also available.
