This is an engraved and hand-colored soldier's service memorial lithograph fulfilled in manuscript at center for Lieutenant Colonel Waldo Merriam. Merriam was an officer with the 16th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry who was killed at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. It is beautifully framed in a wooden frame that measures 17 inches by 21-1/2 inches in overall size. The center of the frame measures 11 inches by 15 inches. It was lithographed by J. H.

Merriam / 16 - Mass Vols - / Killed in Battle / of Spotsylvania Va. / May 12th 1864 / Aged 24 years". Waldo Merriam enlisted was commissioned a first lieutenant on August 1, 1861.
