This is a lithograph titled 'The Soldier's Dream of Home'. It depicts a Civil War soldier lying on the ground, asleep amidst a battlefield. He is dressed in a blue uniform and is leaning on his rifle. Next to him are a drum and a letter or paper. Above him, in a dream-like vision, is a family embracing in front of a white house. The scene is framed by an oval, and the border is decorated with stars and stripes. In the background, there's a campfire, tents, a cannon, and a wagon, suggesting a military encampment. The overall tone is sentimental and evokes themes of longing for home and family during wartime.
