"Rally Round the Flag" by Francis Barnum

Rally Round the FlagSculptor Francis Barnum recently announced that on December 15, 2007 he will release Rally Round the Flag, the latest sculpture in the American Civil War Collection.  This striking sculpture depicts a young bugler on horseback and a color bearer in the midst of battle.  Heard above the chaos and confusion of battle, the bugle and the color bearer were the primary means of communication between military leaders.  This exceptional sculpture is the perfect gift for the Civil War enthusiast or a notable addition to any collection.

 

Strictly limited to 500 pieces, the special introductory price for this sculpture is $400 and is only valid through January 31.  After that point, the price will be $480.
