EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting photograph captures the aftermath of the bloody Battle of Antietam, which took place in September 1862 during the American Civil War. The image, a remarkable albumen silver print from a glass negative, measures an impressive 71 x 10 cm, allowing for intricate details to be preserved. Taken by Alexander Gardner, a Scottish-born photographer based in Washington D. C. , this photograph showcases his talent for capturing raw emotions and documenting historical events. Gardner's lens focuses on a group of soldiers diligently burying their fallen comrades on the battlefield. Their somber expressions reveal the weight of loss they carry as they lay their fellow soldiers to rest. The composition is both poignant and thought-provoking; it serves as a reminder of the devastating human cost that war inflicts upon individuals and communities alike. The vastness of the burial site emphasizes the scale of tragedy experienced during this pivotal moment in American history. Gardner's ability to capture such heart-wrenching scenes earned him recognition as one of America's most influential photographers. His work not only documented significant events but also conveyed empathy towards those affected by them. This particular print from Liszt Collection transports us back to that fateful day at Antietam, inviting viewers to reflect upon the sacrifices made by brave men who fought for their beliefs. It serves as a testament to both Gardner's skill behind the camera and his dedication to preserving history through photography.
