EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Atlanta during the American Civil War. Published by Kurz & Allison in 1888, this colour lithograph transports us back to July 22nd, 1864, when General James B. McPherson met his tragic end on the battlefield. In this scene, we witness a fierce confrontation between Union and Confederate forces. The smoke-filled air obscures the view as soldiers fight valiantly for their respective flags and standards. Horses gallop through the chaos while rifles are raised high in preparation for battle. Amidst this turmoil, we see General McPherson's lifeless body lying on the ground, symbolizing both loss and sacrifice in war. William Tecumseh Sherman stands nearby, a figure of determination amidst the carnage. John Bell Hood also features prominently in this image as he leads his troops into battle. The composition beautifully captures not only the brutality of warfare but also highlights moments of heroism and resilience exhibited by these brave men fighting for their beliefs. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, it serves as a reminder of how conflict can shape nations and individuals alike. It is an evocative testament to those who fought during one of America's most defining periods—the American Civil War—and invites us to contemplate its lasting impact on our society today.
