Author, suffragette, dramatist, poet, and biographer (1819–1910), best remembered as the lyricist of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” AQS, the last stanza from “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” on a heavy embossed gray 5 x 5 card (evidently an unused photographer’s mount), signed “Julia Ward Howe” and dated December 1904. The text reads, in full: “In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea/With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me/As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free/While God is marching on!” Matted with a book photo to an overall size of 14 x 9.75. A most attractive example! In fine condition. R&R COA.
