Image measures approx. 15.5 inches by 21.25 inches; unframed but mounted on fiberboard dark "tidal stain" at lower left margin maskable with matting. <br/><br/>Perhaps the most vivid illustrations created of 1860 Chicago were published by Jevne and Almini in France. Raoul Varin of Paris France re-created the original paintings in the mid-1920s. "The differences between Mr. Varin's paintings and the original prints were subtle. He engraved a variety of signed limited edition numbered prints . in the 1920s and 1930s. They were published by A Ackermann & Son . His views took a historical perspective . often based on extant classical works." Only 100 signed prints of the finished work were published. This is apparently a Proof State of the print and thus unnumbered but it is signed by Varin in pencil in the lower right corner. . A. Ackermann & Son Inc unknown

Disassembly assembly and such repairs as may be handled by using arms personnel will be undertaken only under the supervision of an officer or the chief mechanic. During the Second World War U.S. artillery regiments consisted of an HQ detachment one 155 mm artillery battalion and three 105 mm artillery battalions. Both the 155 mm and 105 mm battalions had twelve guns each divided into three batteries of four guns. The 105 mm M101A1 howitzer previously designated M2A1 was an artillery piece developed and used by the United States. It was the standard U.S. light field howitzer in World War II and saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters. Entering production in 1941 it quickly gained a reputation for accuracy and a powerful punch. The M101A1 fired 105 mm 4.1 in high explosive HE semi-fixed ammunition and had a range of 12330 yards making it suitable for supporting infantry. All of these qualities of the weapon along with its widespread production led to its adoption by many countries after the war. Its ammunition type also became the standard for many foreign countries' later models. United States, War Department paperback
