A Truly Unique Call to Arms: The Illustrated Zouave Poster.
This high-quality poster is a reproduction of a remarkable and rare c. 1862 recruitment broadside for the Zouaves d'Afrique, who would become the 114th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. Unlike the vast majority of recruitment posters which were typeset and printed, this piece has a stunning, hand-illustrated quality.
The artwork features three Zouaves in their famously vibrant and exotic uniforms, ready for action. The text itself is a work of art, with dynamic, hand-lettered slogans arcing across the page, calling for recruits to join Captain E. R. Bowen's company at Schwartz's Hotel in Philadelphia. This isn't just a historical document; it's a piece of folk art from the streets of a city mobilizing for war. It's a perfect print for any Civil War historian, or anyone with an appreciation for unique 19th-century illustration and Philadelphia history.
