"1860-1865: A Glimpse into a Transformative Era" In the midst of the tumultuous years between 1860 and 1865, an array of captivating moments unfolded, leaving indelible marks on history. Phyic Middleton, my eldest daughter Ross & Thomson, captured these transformative times through their lens in stunning Albumen silver prints. Amidst this period of change, Dimetrius Constantine's masterpiece "The Caryatides, " created between c. 1850 and c. 1870, stood as a testament to Greek artistry that transcended time. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's evocative painting "The Eel Gatherers" depicted scenes from everyday life during this era with remarkable precision and emotion. Meanwhile, Alfred R Waud's drawings transported us to the heart of dramatic events such as shipwrecks amidst stormy seas or the valiant efforts aboard Danl Webster army mail boat on James River. An unfinished dam served as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by both sides during this turbulent period when lines were drawn and enemies clashed fiercely. Alfred R Waud's sketches further revealed glimpses into naval battles with steam frigates like Pocohontas and Supply dominating broadside views while cavalry rode fearlessly across pontoon bridges in defense of their cause. These visual records provide invaluable insights into the historical narrative surrounding ships, forts, and brave soldiers who fought for what they believed in during those fateful years. As we reflect upon these images from 1860-1865 captured by talented artists like Phyic Middleton Ross & Thomson or Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot alongside Alfred R Waud's intricate drawings; we are reminded that even amidst chaos and conflict emerges beauty worth preserving for generations to come.
