Kurz and Allison were a major publisher of chromolithographs in the late 19th century. Based at 267-269 Wabash Avenue in Chicago they built their reputation on large prints published in the mid-1880s depicting battles of the American Civil War. This was a period of recollection among veterans and the company was trying to capitalise of this sentiment. In all a set of thirty-six battle scenes were published from designs by Louis Kurz (1835–1921) himself a veteran of the war.
