A complete and original issue of the Harper’s Weekly, September 26, 1863, 16pp., disbound, VG. A sobering centerspread, with title "Army of the Potomac--Execution of Five Deserters In the Fifth Corps", shows five prisoners seated upon their own coffins, each facing the 50 man firing squad. Four have been executed, the fifth is still sitting upright. The issue has been under trimmed causing the loss of the title, yet the engraving is full.
