EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of Sherman's March during the American Civil War. The drawing, created by renowned American artist Alfred R Waud, showcases the destruction caused to railroad tracks between November 15 and December 21 in 1864. Sherman's March was a military campaign led by General William Tecumseh Sherman with the intention of crippling the Confederate infrastructure and demoralizing its population. This particular image depicts the devastating impact on transportation networks as railway tracks lie twisted and broken, rendering them useless. Waud's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, showcasing his talent for capturing significant events through his sketches. Known for his ability to convey emotion and action in his artwork, Waud became famous for documenting various aspects of the American Civil War. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic value but also in its representation of a critical turning point in history. Sherman's March marked a shift towards total warfare tactics that aimed at dismantling an enemy nation from within. As we reflect on this powerful depiction, we are reminded of both the destructive nature of war and the resilience shown by those who lived through it. Quint Lox has expertly preserved this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate Waud's artistry while acknowledging our shared history as Americans.
