Uncolored Print, “Franz Sigel” on horseback with his stud prancing. Folio, ca. 12-1/4” x 16-1/2”, Lithograph by Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. Very good condition. Rare. In 1861 he became colonel of the 3d Mo. infantry, aided in the capture of Camp Jackson and on July 5 fought and won the battle of Carthage. Perhaps in late 1861, but certainly by mid-1862, the Cincinnati lithographic firm of Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. began to issue a series of portraits of Civil War figures: politicians as well as military and naval officers. These prints, which the firm continued to issue at least as late as 1864. The firm issued seventy-nine different prints of sixty-nine different Union politicians and officers. The Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. prints were issued separately for those in the mid-west who wanted to have these images of Union heroes.
