Description |
Charles Baum, born in Germany ca. 1824, was a Philadelphia artist and publisher of lithographs during the Civil War. Between
1861-1863, Baum published "Camp Meigs" (1861) and the fundraising print "View of the Reception of the 29th Regiment, P. V.,
at Philadelphia" (1863), and was the artist for "Camp Brandywine, Third Regt. R. Brigade" (ca. 1862) and "Camp Du Pont. 4th
Regt. Delaware Infantry". He may also be the Charles Baum who petitioned for naturalization in the Western District of Pennsylvania
in October 1863. Baum has also been credited as the artist of two complementary paintings of the Bergner & Engel Brewery,
ca. 1865. An artist named C. Baum residing in Egg Harbor exhibited a painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
in 1864 and this may also be Charles Baum.
