"Apparently, because of this statement [regarding Homer's work for Harpers at the start of the Civil War] . . . illustrations of the inauguration have been attributed to Homer. They are unsigned and show no internal evidence of being by him."--Foster, A Check List of Illustrations by Winslow Homer, p. 5.
