1888 Advertising Poster Featuring The American War Of Secession For Mccormick Tractors
The poster depicts a detailed scene from the Battle of Atlanta (July 22, 1864) during the American Civil War. It specifically states that the work was "copied with special permission from the panoramic painting on display in Minneapolis."
In the late 19th century, cycloramas (giant panoramic paintings) were hugely popular attractions, and companies purchased the rights to these spectacular historical scenes to capture the public’s attention. At the top of the poster, two McCormick farm machines (a mower and a reaper-binder) are depicted
