Mort Künstler – “The Great Beefsteak Raid” Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Product Details
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled “The Great Beefsteak Raid” by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler.
This dynamic Civil War composition captures the daring Confederate raid in which thousands of Union cattle were seized—one of the most successful and unusual operations of the war. With cavalry charging through a river crossing, water splashing beneath the horses and livestock driven ahead, the scene is filled with motion, urgency, and tactical precision.
Künstler brings this remarkable moment to life with vivid energy, highlighting both the chaos and coordination of a raid that played a critical role in sustaining Confederate forces.
