“Battle of Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee: Centre, Sunday Morning,” April 6, 1862, by Henri Lovie, published May 17, 1862. About 100,000 men fought in the Battle of Shiloh. Henri Lovie was the only artist who depicted the full two days of this bloody battle in which one out of every four men was killed, injured or went missing. Leslie’s published a 16-page supplement devoted to a series of Lovie’s Shiloh panoramas. The illustrations are some of Leslie’s best engravings and considered by many to be among the earliest and most graphic depictions of the human cost of the war.
