Civil War art

[RocklockI]

At my Aunts last night while revewing a nearly complete set of all pics ,it dawned on me I had never shared this info on this forum .

The Anuts boyfrend is named John Paul Strain(we call him Jack???).....His son is John Paul Jr. and he is quite an artist . So Jack has a very nearly complete set of prints all siged to Jack .

ANYWAY here is the website....This guy knows details !      http://www.johnpaulstrain.com/
 
 Hope you like them ....One last thing since there are very few cannons in his art ,Jack (the dad) now knows about Whisling Dick , The Widow , and the Swamp Angel 

I am going to contact him directly and introduce myself . I'd love to see The Dick and crew celebrating the sinking of the Cinncinati ......I still havnt found a pic of an 1839 18lber yet but is must look something like it bigger brothers from 1839.....but then there's the banding and all

If you are looking for a pic of a pattern 1839 18 pounder you may never find one, only two were ever cast and none are known to survive. 

It would be a little easier to find a pic of a pattern 1840 since West Point foundry cast 20 of them.  No. 12, insp. RLB, date 1841, wt. 4832 is the only survivor of that pattern.  It survives in Chalmette LA. in a vertical position.
