EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Battery No. 4 Near Yorktown, 1862" takes us back in time to the American Civil War. Captured by renowned photographer Mathew Brady, this print showcases a significant moment in military history. The image depicts Battery No. 4, strategically positioned near Yorktown during the Peninsula Campaign of 1862. The battery consists of imposing cannons and heavy artillery, including massive 10-13 inch mortars weighing a staggering 20,000 pounds each. These formidable weapons were instrumental in the Union Army's efforts under Major General George McClellan. As we gaze at this historic scene, we are transported to an era where trench warfare was prevalent and battles were fought with sheer determination and firepower. The dugouts surrounding Battery No. 4 serve as a reminder of the soldiers' resilience amidst challenging conditions. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the scale and magnitude of artillery batteries utilized during that period in North America's military history. It is a testament to both the technological advancements made during that time and the bravery displayed by those who served on these frontlines. With its remarkable composition and attention to detail, this print captures not only an important chapter in American history but also highlights Mathew Brady's exceptional talent as one of the pioneers of photography during his era.
