    Description

    Up for sale is an antique rare/valuable print which has all the names and faces of the heroes of the Spanish American War. There are 40 pictures along with a beautiful print of the American eagle grasping a 13 star flag. On the bottom is a depiction of a rough rider with his gun, and a sailor holding his bugle. Beside them are cannons, and at their feet are 3 wreaths along with pictures of ammunition. To avoid causing any damage
    to the print/frame I did not remove the print. I was able to find only one similar print sold in 2016 where the seller
    did remove the print and identified "
    copyright dated 1898" on the print.
    Almost all of the important personages of this war are pictured. Note the photo of Theodore Rooselvelt in the 2nd row. He became president in 3 years later in 1901. \There no visible rips or tears. Given the rarity and value of the print, it would be a good investment.  There are 2 panel boards holding the print in place.  The frame has some damage on the decorative inner portion of the frame which I captured in the photos. The outer brown portion of the frame also has some marks which are to be expected for an item this old.
    Frame outer dimensions are 27 inches high X 30-3/4 inches wide
    This is a rare piece of history.
    It is a hard to find collectible which deserves to be displayed in a place of honor. Feel free to contact me with questions.
    I will package this piece with lots of padding to ensure that it arrives safely.
