EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, a significant historical landmark in Philadelphia during the Civil War. Opened in 1862, it was the first establishment of its kind to cater specifically to Union volunteers in the United States. The image showcases a bustling town square scene, with soldiers and volunteers gathered outside this iconic saloon. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring life to this snapshot from history, allowing us to imagine what it must have been like during those tumultuous times. In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only military personnel seeking respite and relaxation but also a community coming together to support their troops. The saloon served as more than just a place for refreshments; it symbolized unity and solidarity among Unionists. As we delve into the details of this print, we can appreciate how every element tells a story – from the architectural beauty of the shop itself to the expressions on people's faces. It serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles and triumphs. Today, this photograph stands as an invaluable piece of American history preserved by Bridgeman Images. It allows us to reflect on our roots while honoring those who fought bravely for our freedom.
