Hand colored lithograph published by Currier & Ives at 152 Nassau Street, New York. Caption under title says: "Between the Corps d'armée of Genl. Banks, constituting a part of the Army of Virginia, under Genl. Pope and a vastly superior number of the Rebels under Elwell and Stonewall Jackson, the Rebels were finally repulsed, and the Field occupied by the Federal Army." Depicts various rows of soldiers in the chaos of battle. The mountains are shown in the background. The subtitle is too sanguine, as the Confederate counterattack kept the Federals from winning the battle. Lithograph is mounted.
