An original period image restored and tinted by internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused.

Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo.

Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. If not requested when placing your order your image may be cropped.

Stuart was known for his style, fighting with flair and a propensity for the dramatic. At the Brandy Station Grand Review, Stuart had his horse bedecked with garlands of flowers. In addition to a cavalry saber, he carried a 9-shot revolver with a lower barrel that fired a.

20 gauge load of buckshot. Lee considered Stuart, "the eyes of the Army". Lee also knew Stuart excelled at leading his men to victory.

Although renowned for his cavalry exploits, Lee praised him for his "energy, promptness & intelligence", while leading Gen Stonewall Jackson's infantry during the Battle of Chancellorsville. Jeb Stuart may be best known for his famous "Ride Around McClellan's Army". Lee's orders, his cavalry was sent to gather intelligence for the June 1862 attack at Mechanicsville, Va. Which was the first of the Seven Days' battles.

Thirty-five miles deep in US territory, Stuart reasoned it would actual be safer to continue and circle McClellan instead of returning the direction they had came. The 100 mile "Ride" was a huge morale booster for the South. Stuart had the added satisfaction of avoiding capture by US Gen.
