This exhibition will be the first time ever an extraordinary archive of eye-witness drawings of the Civil War has been shown. Selected from the privately held Becker Collection, the drawings are the work of a group of mid-19th-century American artist-reporters on assignment for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, the era's leading illustrated periodical.
