Lot Description
Long May it Wave over the Soldier's Grave. Civil War soldier folk art drawing. 

8 x 8 1/2 in. (visible area), framed to 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. (creased, with some spotting and surface soiling, unexamined out of the frame). Poignant Civil War-period hand-colored drawing featuring a 34-star American flag waving over three soldiers removing their dead comrade from the battlefield. Presented to Alfred Maloy by Data Brailey with the exhortation to “Remember Me.” 

The poem inscribed beneath the lifeless soldier and his comrades  was meticulously  printed with pencil by the artist in near perfect 1/16 in. letters.
