EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph from the Liszt Collection, titled "Wounded Drummer Boy" we are transported back to the American Civil War era. The image captures a young boy named William S. Pendleton, who served as a drummer during this tumultuous period in history. Taken around 1865, the albumen silver print showcases Pendleton's brave spirit despite his visible wounds. His face bears the marks of hardship and sacrifice, yet there is an undeniable determination in his eyes that speaks volumes about his resilience. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of Pendleton's story through careful composition and lighting. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both the physical toll of war on Pendleton's body and the strength he possesses within. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the countless children who were thrust into adulthood far too soon due to conflict. It prompts us to reflect upon their bravery and sacrifices made for causes they may not fully comprehend. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of history, let us honor all those like William S. Pendleton who played their part in shaping our world today. May their stories continue to inspire future generations with courage and compassion amidst adversity.
