Description

Rare view of Camp Randall, Wisconsin, published by Moseley & Brother of Madison and lithographed by Louis Kurz.

During the American Civil War, Madison served as a center of the Union Army in Wisconsin. Camp Randall, on the west side of Madison, was built and used as a training camp, a military hospital, and a prison camp for captured Confederate soldiers. After the war ended, the Camp Randall site was absorbed into the University of Wisconsin, and Camp Randall is now the site of the University Stadium of the same name, built over the site in 1917.

This is one of Louis Kurz earliest solo works, coming after his period working as Kurz & Sieftert and before the formation of Kurz & Allison. The view is rare, with OCLC locating only the badly torn example in the Wisconsin Historical Society ( http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/whi/fullimage.asp?id=1838 ). The LIbrary of Congress also holds a copy of the view ( http://lccn.loc.gov/2003656531 ).

Condition Description
The view has been trimmed to the image along the top and mounted on archival paper, with loss in the clouds.
