EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - The Civil War. In this print, we are transported to the banks of the Potomac River, where the Army on the move is depicted with their baggage wagons and gun carriages. Published in the Illustrated London News on April 5,1862, this hand-coloured Victorian-style artwork offers a glimpse into the transportation methods employed during this tumultuous time. The scene is bustling with activity as soldiers and horses work together to navigate across rivers and through treacherous terrain. Covered wagons laden with barrels and supplies can be seen hitched together, forming an essential part of military logistics during wartime. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur and chaos of war, showcasing men diligently coupling wagons while others attend to their trusty steeds. As we study this image closely, it serves as a poignant reminder of how war impacts not only those directly involved but also everyday people caught up in its wake. It invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for their beliefs during one of America's darkest chapters. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical gem continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and vivid colours. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have been granted access to relive a moment frozen in time - an enduring testament to human resilience amidst turmoil.
