About this image...Title: Old John Brown's Career Illustrated, circa 1860Summary: Print shows five vignettes from the violent life of abolitionist John Brown, three related to "doing his Kansas work" and the fourth "commencing his Virginia work"; the fifth vignette, at center, labeled "The traitors doom" shows the execution of Brown. At top center, embracing the display, is a devilish figure, and at bottom center, beneath a crumbling arch, is a female figure, possibly meant to represent Columbia, kneeling on one knee, holding a stars and stripes shield, with an American flag on the ground before her, and the American eagle, clutching arrows, to the left; she holds her right hand to her face, as if in mourning, as the sun sets in the background. The vignettes are framed on the right and left by spears and at the bottom by a rocky coastline.Creator: Queen, James Fuller, 1820 or 1821-1886, artistOriginal Date: 1860?Related Names: Pilliner, Frederick J.Subject: Abolition movement--Kansas--1850-1860Subject: Abolitionists--Kansas--1850-1860Subject: Brown, John,--1800-1859Subject: Hangings (Executions)--West Virginia--Charles Town--1850-1860Subject: Homicides--Kansas--1850-1860Subject: Queen, James Fuller,--1820 or 1821-1886--Associated objectsCollection: Popular Graphic ArtsShipping charge for ClassicPix unframed posters is $6.95 USD for the first print and $2.00 USD for each additional print.
