[FLAGS - CIVIL WAR]. 15th New York Infantry / Regiment of Engineers GAR regimental colors. Ca 1880.

12 1/4 x 19 1/8 in. regimental colors with the Arms of the State of New York and the inscriptions "GAR/ 15th Regt N.Y.S.V" and "Excelsior," hand-painted in polychrome on silk. Laid on silk.

Provenance:
Found in a Grand Army of the Republic lodge near Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire;
Collection of Jeffrey Kenneth Kohn, MD.

Organized in New York City as the 15th New York Infantry, the regiment was subsequently converted to the 15th Regiment of
Engineers, known as the New York sappers and miners, in October of 1861. The consignor believes that the quality, materials and techniques used in the painting on this standard strongly suggest that it was created by the same hands that made the Civil War Regimental standards.
