EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Battery No. 1, near Yorktown--No. 1. May, 1862" transports us back to a crucial moment in American history - the Civil War. The image showcases an albumen print mounted on wove paper, measuring 17.2x22.5 cm. Taken by Wood and Gibson in May of 1862, this photograph is part of Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War series - a comprehensive visual documentation of the conflict that tore apart the United States during that time. The scene depicted captures a fortified battery near Yorktown, exuding strength and resilience amidst the chaos of war. It offers a glimpse into military life during this tumultuous period as troops stand guard with their artillery weapons at the ready. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot while emphasizing its timeless significance. As we observe this image today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs and defended their nation. Now housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this remarkable piece was acquired through museum purchase using funds dedicated to Collection Care and Enhancement. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they provide valuable insights into our collective heritage and remind us never to forget those who came before us.
