This auction lot is for a Framed Early Chromolithograph by Charles Magnus & Co. of New York circa 1854. of the lyrics of the song "Kingdom Coming". The print shows two folk people, apparently black enslaved or former enslaved persons of the South, standing on the shore looking out toward several Civil War period battleships – one displaying the Stars and Stripes. Condition is rough as someone taped on the verso over several crackings in the paper prior to framing. However, even with that said and noted, it is still an unusual find. Just the upper graphics are worth whatever is paid for this item. Julian Carl (Charles) Magnus (1826-1900) was born in Germany. He emigrated to New York in 1848. He and his publishing firm printed many views and maps, especially of American locations. He also produced letter sheets and song sheets. Magnus items usually sell at major auction houses for between $200 - $400, depending on subject matter and condition. You might get a good bargain here. Bid High.
