Mort Künstler – The Strangest Race Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Item Description
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled The Strangest Race by acclaimed historical artist Mort Künstler. This dynamic and visually engaging scene captures a unique and lesser-known moment of the Civil War, where urgency and improvisation collide in a race against time.
With a Confederate officer galloping at full speed alongside a wagon and a steamship in the background, Künstler brings energy and movement to the composition—blending land and water elements into a vivid narrative of strategy, speed, and determination.
