Civil War battle engraving print depicting the fight at Philippi, Virginia, dated June 3, 1861, with U.S. troops, artillery, and a broad valley landscape rendered in detailed black and white line work. The lower margin carries the printed scene title and explanatory text, reinforcing its documentary and historical appeal for collectors of American military prints and 19th century illustrated journalism.
