EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from American history - President Lincoln at Sharpsburg in October 1862. The image, taken by renowned photographer Mathew Brady and his studio, showcases the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg. In this powerful photograph, we see President Abraham Lincoln standing amidst the ruins of war. To his left stands Allan Pinkerton, a Scottish detective and spy who founded the Pinkerton National Detective Agency and served as head of the Union Intelligence Service during that time. On Lincoln's right is John Alexander McClernand, a lawyer turned Union General. The significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of these prominent figures but also in its portrayal of resilience amidst destruction. The encampment behind them serves as a stark reminder of the brutal reality faced by soldiers on both sides during the American Civil War. Preserved within a private collection, this print offers us an intimate glimpse into one chapter of our nation's past. It symbolizes unity and determination in times of adversity while honoring those who fought valiantly for their beliefs. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time through photography, let us remember the sacrifices made by countless individuals to shape America into what it is today – a land united under liberty and justice for all.
