"Battle Between The Monitor And Merrimac" is a chromolithograph created by the American publishing company Kurz & Allison in 1889. This artwork vividly depicts the historic naval battle between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (often referred to as the Merrimac), which took place during the American Civil War on March 9, 1862, in Hampton Roads, Virginia. The battle is renowned for being the first meeting in combat of ironclad warships, marking a significant innovation in naval warfare.

Kurz & Allison, established in Chicago in 1880 by Louis Kurz and Alexander Allison, were known for their colorful and dramatic prints that often illustrated significant events in American history. Their works were intended to be both educational and patriotic, capturing the imagination of the public and preserving the memory of pivotal moments in the nation's past.

This artistic representation not only highlights the technological advancements of the era but also serves as a tribute to the bravery and ingenuity of those involved in the conflict.

The battle itself ended in a stalemate, but it had far-reaching implications for naval architecture and warfare, signaling the end of the era of wooden warships.
