The Finest and Most Dashing | Sprague Light Cavalry | 1860s Civil War Poster

A Rare, Colorful Call to Ride for the Union.

This digitally restored print reproduces an exceptionally rare broadside for New York's Sprague Light Cavalry. Its value is underscored by a recent $11,000 auction sale for an original copy. What makes it truly special is the vibrant, hand-colored engraving at its heart, depicting a thrilling cavalry charge in full gallop.

The poster extols the cavalry as the "finest and most dashing arm of the service" and uses a combination of bold typography and practical incentives—like large bounties and family relief—to attract the best recruits. It's a snapshot of the romantic appeal of the cavalry and the urgent realities of wartime enlistment, all captured in a visually spectacular piece perfect for any collector.
