- Lot Description
Printed, bright red and blue broadside, 41 x 31 in., featuring large 2.5 in. high red headline, Regiment Ordered South, seeking men for Colonel Peter Lyle's National Guards...Recruits Wanted! Application to be made At the Armory...Race Street Below 6th, with bold fancy panel at bottom of publisher, US Steam Print/Ledger Buildings. Separately affixed (but believe it was done during the period) black and white engraving of a Civil War-era railroad train, which seems contemporary with the use and printing of the poster.
In 1840, when the National Guards Regiment of Philadelphia formed, Peter Lyle joined and quickly raised in the ranks from a first sergeant, to captain, to colonel. The regiment became one of the most distinguished military units in the country under Lyle's leadership. He served as colonel of the 19th and 90th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War, and although the broadside offered here is undated, it is believed that it was produced around March or April of 1862, soon after the 90th PA's organization and mustering in. After a short stay at Baltimore and Washington, the regiment was ordered in April to be transferred to Virginia. The regiment's service record was quite extensive, serving in all important Virginia campaigns as well as Gettysburg, where it lost 100 men. Despite the distressed condition of the broadside, it is very impressive and quite displayable.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Original wide borders. In weak condition, but intact. Has quite a few brown tape repairs (done many years ago) on reverse, holding it all together. Some tattering on extreme outer edges only of the wide, blank margins, including some tears, chips. Very impressive in appearance; condition distressed but quite displayable.Condition
