EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gettysburg from the West, 1863" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, although it was once attributed to the renowned photographer Mathew B. Brady. The photograph showcases a panoramic view of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania during the 19th century. It captures the essence of both city and country life as it depicts an idyllic landscape with orchards dotting the countryside. This scene serves as a stark contrast to what would soon unfold in this very location. In 1863, Gettysburg became synonymous with one of the bloodiest battles fought during the American Civil War. The town's peaceful charm was shattered by violence and destruction that forever changed its course. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of America's resilience and its ability to rise above adversity. It is through photographs like these that we can connect with our heritage and gain a deeper understanding of our past. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print serves as a visual testament to our nation's history.
