EDITORS COMMENTS
CIVIL WAR: VETERAN, 1867. A powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, this poignant wood engraving from 1867 captures a moment in history that echoes with both tragedy and triumph. In the center of the frame stands a brave Union soldier, his leg amputated below the knee as a result of his service during the Civil War. Surrounding him is an empathetic crowd, their faces reflecting a mix of admiration and compassion for this wounded hero. The image serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men who fought valiantly on American soil. The soldier's crutch leans against his side, symbolizing both physical support and unwavering determination. Despite his handicap, he stands tall amidst adversity, embodying courage in its purest form. This wood engraving not only immortalizes one man's struggle but also represents an entire generation forever marked by war. It speaks volumes about unity and camaraderie within our nation during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this historic print today, let us remember those who selflessly served their country and honor their enduring legacy. May it serve as an inspiration for generations to come – reminding us that even in our darkest moments, strength can be found within ourselves and amongst each other.
