EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Maryland Heights, near Harpers Ferry during the American Civil War. Taken by an unknown photographer, this image showcases members of the New York State Militia from 1861-65. Formerly attributed to Mathew B. Brady, a renowned photographer of that era, it is now recognized as an anonymous work. The photograph portrays a group of men in uniform standing proudly against the backdrop of Harpers Ferry in West Virginia. These brave soldiers represent the strength and determination of the Union Army during this tumultuous period in American history. The albumen silver print technique used adds depth and richness to every detail captured on glass negative. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece as part of its heritage art collection. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when our country was divided by war but united in purpose. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these courageous individuals who fought for their beliefs and for our nation's future. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in American military history but also stands as a testament to the power and significance that photography holds in preserving our collective memory.
