EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stoic presence of General Benjamin F. Butler during his service from 1861 to 1865. Taken by renowned photographer Mathew Brady and his studio, this image showcases the esteemed American lawyer and politician in a moment of reflection. General Butler, born in 1818 and passing away in 1893, played a crucial role as a Union general during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War. His leadership skills were put to test as he navigated through various encampments across North America. In this portrait, General Butler is depicted seated inside a tent, exuding an air of authority and determination. The composition highlights his profile with great clarity, emphasizing his strong features that have weathered many battles fought for the United States. The photograph's monochromatic palette adds depth to General Butler's character, capturing both the shadows cast upon him and the light that illuminates his face. This contrast symbolizes not only the challenges faced by soldiers at war but also their unwavering resilience. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable image serves as an invaluable historical artifact that pays homage to one of America's notable military figures. It stands as a testament to General Benjamin F. Butler's dedication and contribution during one of America’s most defining periods – forever etched into our nation's history.
