Print of Forrest

[AshleyMel]

Hope this is Ok to post. If not please remove! I recently won a silent auction for this print. It is very large and looks to be something that was done for the SUV. Anyone have any additional info?

It was painted Joy Garner and commissioned by the (SCV) Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 28 to raise funds to place a bust of Forrest in the Tennessee State Capital.

@AshelyMel, I can't see your image, but looks like you got your answer

Love to see the print you won!

It was there. Did it get taken down? Or was it something I did when I went to edit post. I don't want to upload it again if not allowed.

CC it is stunning! Very large and on heavy paper!

I think it was there as uvrelics was able to provide a response.

No matter.

Sounds marvellous, Ashley I know you're going to treasure it. All you need now is a frame!

Sounds nice.

 

[AshleyMel]

I edited it back in in case I did something wrong before, but, if it is not Ok, then yes, please remove it. I don't want there to be any issues!

 

[ucvrelics]

I think it may have got lost in your edit. Here it is.

 

[AshleyMel]

Thank you sir!!!
I think I got it back in there! LOL! Ugh!
Do you know when the prints were made? Where is the original located? The folder it came in does have a bio of Joy Gardner on the back and says it is part of the Historical Prints Army Of Tennessee Series 1. Were there others?

Wow! Congrats on an awesome win of a silent auction. Nice prize for sure!

Great info !

 

[ucvrelics]

@7th Mississippi Infantry is correct. Is your's signed and # as they did make reprints.

 

[AshleyMel]

Awesome! Thank you for all that extra info!
I'ma not seeing a signature or any numbering so it must be one of the reprints. I was so curious about the original origin. The lady that donated it to the event said she had made a donation to the NBF boyhood home years ago.

It's a very nice print, but I would REALLY like to see the original painting!

 

[AshleyMel]

Me too!

I now have a Civil War corner in my room where I have all my books and flags and things. Since this is pretty large, I am not sure what to do with it though!

 

[Albert Sailhorst]

I have it framed and hanging in my dinning room!
A copy also hangs in the museum at Ft. Pillow.

Is yours signed and numbered?
