EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases the iconic Burnside Bridge, standing resolute across the Antietam Creek in Sharpsburg during September 1862. With its albumen silver print and glass negative, this photograph captures the essence of Alexander Gardner's artistry. Gardner, an esteemed Scottish-American photographer born in Glasgow in 1821, had a keen eye for detail and composition. His work often reflected his deep understanding of historical events and their significance. In this particular piece, he masterfully portrays the solemn beauty of Burnside Bridge amidst the backdrop of war-torn surroundings. The bridge itself becomes more than just an architectural marvel; it symbolizes resilience and unity during one of America's bloodiest battles—the Battle of Antietam. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear echoes of soldiers' footsteps as they crossed over its timeworn planks. Through Gardner's lens, we are transported to Washington D. C. , where he captured countless photographs that would shape our collective memory forever. This specific print serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past struggles while also celebrating the strength and determination that helped forge a brighter future. As we admire this remarkable artwork from the Liszt Collection, let us remember not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance—a testament to human perseverance even amid chaos and destruction.
