Series 8. Framed Facsimiles, 1845-1859, undated

This series contains facsimiles of Strother's artwork which have been framed for display. These facsimiles were created for the traveling version of the 2009 West Virginia Day exhibit, which commemorated the 150th anniversary of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry. The majority of these facsimiles are of sketches made by Strother during the trial of John Brown in 1859, including facsimiles of “Harper's Weekly” articles for which Strother provided the illustrations. People depicted include John Brown, Shields Green, Edwin Coppock, Aaron Dwight Stevens, John Copeland, and George Henry Hoyt. Please note that the dates given for this series indicate the date that the original artwork was created, rather than the date the facsimile was created.
