EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Ordnance, Private, 1866" is a testament to the rich history and heritage of America during the Civil War era. Attributed to Oliver H. Willard, this photograph showcases a Union Army soldier in his full military uniform. The image captures the essence of a bygone era as we witness this brave soldier standing tall with his rifle at hand. His attire reflects the distinctive clothing worn by soldiers during that time period - from his wide-brimmed hat to his meticulously tailored uniform. Intriguingly, this particular print has been hand-colored or tinted, adding an artistic touch that brings life and vibrancy to the scene. The soft hues enhance our connection with history while reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly preserves this remarkable piece within its collection. It serves as both a visual representation of American warfare and an important historical artifact documenting one individual's role in defending their nation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time – imagining the sounds of distant drums beating and feeling a sense of admiration for all those who served on behalf of their country. This print stands as a poignant reminder of our shared past and honors those who dedicated themselves to protecting freedom during times of conflict.
