Drawing on olive paper, in pencil with “Chinese white” highlights, by the special correspondent for “Harper’s Weekly,” Alfred R. Waud; it is titled underneath in his own handwriting “Aiming a mortar in Jackson’s Connecticut battery,” and it was published as an engraving on page 505 of the August 6, 1864 issue of that journal, as part of a series entitled “In the trenches before Petersburg.” The Library of Congress holds the original Waud sketch, whose crease-line has been removed and lightly cleaned in this version by BiM
