Summary

English: Summary from the English Wikipedia by Thatcher131: Taken from the magazine Harpers Weekly, May 20, 1865, as scanned into the database Harpweek (harpweek.com). The magazine copyright is expired due to age, however, Harpweek has placed a copyright notice on the page. I do not believe Harpweek can recapture under copyright something that had already escaped into public domain, therefore I believe this drawing is public domain (as it would be if I went to the library and scanned it myself).
