EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Christmas Boxes in Camp - Christmas, 1861, 1862," was published in Harper's Weekly on January 4, 1862. The photograph, which is actually a wood engraving, depicts a scene of Christmas cheer in the midst of the American Civil War. Soldiers huddle around a tent, exchanging gifts and sharing in the holiday spirit. The boxes in the foreground are filled with clothing and other essentials, a reminder of the practicalities of life in the camp. The scene is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, as soldiers momentarily set aside the harsh realities of military life to celebrate the season of giving. The simple pleasures of the holiday are evident in the smiles on the faces of the men, who are dressed in their uniforms, some with socks and hats in hand. The image is a testament to the enduring power of the holiday season, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It also speaks to the importance of community and connection, as the soldiers come together to share in the spirit of Christmas. This wood engraving, which is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Civil War and the importance of finding joy and connection in even the most difficult of times.
