Vibrant watercolor illustration capturing a group of Civil War, Zouave soldiers dancing together in a camp setting. A young soldier/musician playing the fiddle can be seen at left, while a group of four soldiers move to the music, with the soldier at center wearing a US belt plate, positioning one hand on his hip while he extends the opposite hand into the air. The two soldiers at far right hold each other in a somewhat intimate embrace. The energetic and boisterous line work emphasize the cheerful nature of the camp scene. Signed lower right, Wm. H. Monk. On thin cardboard. 10.25 x 12 in. Condition: Some corner and edgewear to the watercolor.
