EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1862, we are transported back in time to witness a unique moment during the American Civil War. The image showcases Prince Robert, Duke of Chartres, alongside Prince Philippe, Count of Paris and Prince Francois of Joinville as they enjoy a leisurely lunch with friends at Camp Winfield Scott near Yorktown, Virginia. The scene is filled with historical significance as these European noblemen have volunteered to serve in the Union Army during this tumultuous period. Dressed in their distinguished uniforms, they sit around an outdoor dining table adorned with a tea pot and wine glasses. As they indulge in their meal amidst the chaos of war, it is evident that even amidst conflict there are moments of respite and camaraderie. This snapshot captures daily life during the Peninsular Campaign when soldiers sought solace through shared meals and conversations. Photographed by James F. Gibson in May 1862, this image offers us a glimpse into the lives of these noble men who found themselves far from home on foreign soil. It serves as a reminder that war affects people from all walks of life and highlights the international impact of the American Civil War. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this print allows us to reflect on history's intricacies while appreciating how individuals can find common ground despite their differences.
