EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant hand-colored engraving captures the heart-wrenching departure of a Union soldier as he leaves his beloved family behind to fight in the Civil War. Set in the 1860s, this vintage illustration portrays a deeply emotional moment that reflects the sacrifices made by countless American families during this historic conflict. In the foreground, we see a strong and determined male soldier dressed in his Union uniform bidding farewell to his wife and children. The sadness on their faces is palpable, as they cling tightly to one another, knowing that separation lies ahead. A loyal dog stands faithfully beside them, symbolizing both companionship and loyalty. The woman's grief-stricken expression mirrors her husband's resolve, while an infant cradled in her arms adds an element of vulnerability to this scene. This depiction highlights not only the bravery of soldiers but also showcases the strength and resilience exhibited by their loved ones left behind. The artist skillfully captures the historical context with attention to detail - from period clothing to architectural elements - transporting us back to a time when America was divided by rebellion. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's past struggles and pays homage to those who fought for unity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the profound impact war has on individuals and families alike. It invites us into their world for just a moment, allowing us to witness an intimate goodbye filled with love, sorrow, hope, and uncertainty – emotions that transcend time itself.
