Political Parties Prints Questions

How close are the colors between the two History of the Political Parties prints?
The History of the Political Parties print is based on a 100 year old original and the History of the Political Parties II is a recent creation, therefore, the colors of the red streams and the yellow streams are slightly different. The background colors are the same.

What is the size of the green border around the prints?
The green borders are approximately 1 1/4" wide around the prints.

Are you planning on updating the History of Political Parties II print?
The History of Political Parties II print was updated in October 2005. There is no plan for an update for the next few years.

Confederate Army and Union Army Prints Questions

How are the prints similar?
The History of the Confederate Army and the History of the Union Army are the overall same size (36 x 24 inches). In addition, all of the borders are the same size.

How are the prints different?
The History of the Confederate Army and the History of the Union Army are different in the following ways: 1) paper weight: the Union Army is printed on an 80lb stock while the Confederate Army is printed on an 100lb stock (the type of paper is same); and 2) scale: because the Union had a larger army in terms of number of troops, the Union Army streams are about double the scale of the Confederate Army streams.
