Blessing of the Sword
Mort
Künstler.
It was a scene repeated throughout the South, especially in the opening
days of the war: the leave-taking could be as brief and simple as a
fleeting embrace and a promise to remember and return. Among the leaders
of the land, however, departure was often marked by a solemn ceremony
with family and faithful friends, and often such ceremonies were capped
by the presentation of an ornately engraved edged weapon. 28"x 19½"
limited edition print is signed and numbered by the artist. |
