EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful recruitment broadside from March 25th, 1864, captures a pivotal moment in American history. The lithograph, created by an anonymous American School artist of the 19th century, measures 23.6x30.2 cm and is now part of the esteemed Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The image depicts a call to action for young Alabamians to join the Confederate cause during the American Civil War. Specifically targeting those under the age of 18, this broadside aimed to recruit cavalry soldiers who would fight under General Pillow's command. Once mounted in an album or scrapbook, this print served as a rallying cry for Southern patriotism and loyalty. On its verso were four additional items - two poems, one news story detailing former Confederate leaders' positions, and even a lighthearted three-line joke. This historical document provides valuable insight into not only recruiting efforts during that time but also how propaganda was used to inspire young men into battle. Its inclusion in the Gilder Lehrman Institute's collection showcases its significance as both a work of art and an important piece of American history. As we examine this engraving today through Bridgeman Images' lens, it serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles and sacrifices made by brave individuals on both sides of the conflict.
