EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Soldiers Grave" takes us back to the year 1862, during a tumultuous period in American history. Published by Currier & Ives, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of mourning and remembrance. In the foreground stands a grieving female figure, dressed in black attire, symbolizing the widow left behind by her fallen soldier. She stands beside a tombstone adorned with an inscription that reads: "In Memory (blank) of the (blank) who died at (blank), 186 (blank). A brave and gallant soldier, and a true patriot. His toils are past, his work is done, and he is fully blest; he fought the fight, the victory won, and enters into rest". A willow tree gracefully drapes over the scene as if weeping for those lost in battle. The surrounding cemetery serves as a solemn reminder of the countless lives sacrificed during this time of conflict. This image not only evokes deep emotions but also sheds light on government propaganda prevalent during that era. It reminds us of how these visual representations were used to honor fallen soldiers while simultaneously promoting patriotism among citizens. "The Soldiers Grave" transports us to North America's past where bravery met tragedy on countless battlefields. It serves as both a memorial for those who gave their lives for their country and as an enduring testament to our nation's history.
