EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to the heart of the American Civil War in 1864. Taken by Andrew Joseph Russell, this albumen silver print captures an intense moment at Coxs Landing on the James River. Formerly attributed to Mathew B. Brady, another renowned photographer of that era, this image showcases Russell's exceptional talent. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a scene filled with armaments and heavy artillery as Union soldiers stand guard along the riverbanks. The men exude strength and determination as they protect their country's interests during one of its most challenging periods. The composition highlights both the geographical features surrounding Coxs Landing and the soldiers who defend it. The serene beauty of the James River provides a stark contrast to the harsh realities of war depicted here. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict, nature continues its course. As we delve deeper into this historical artifact from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded of our nation's heritage and those who fought bravely for its future.
