Illinois Memorial at Andersonville
Hand-colored lantern slide of the Illinois Memorial at Andersonville National Cemetery. A bronze sculpture depicting Columbia, Youth and a Maiden is mounted on the central pedestal of the wide base, which is made of Montello granite. On each side is a sculpture depicting a weary Civil War veteran. The sculptures are also of Montello granite. Although the slide depicts the side sculptures as white, they are actually light pink. The cost of the granite work was $15,000. |
