EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Battle of Cedar Mountain, Aug. 9th 1862" offers a vivid glimpse into the chaos and intensity of the American Civil War. Created by renowned artists Currier and Ives, this colour lithograph measures 30.4x40.5 cm and is part of the esteemed Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The image depicts rows upon rows of soldiers engaged in fierce combat amidst the backdrop of majestic mountains. It showcases a pivotal moment between General Banks' Corps d'armee, representing a faction of the Army of Virginia under General Pope, and a vastly superior Confederate force led by Elwell and Stonewall Jackson. While the subtitle may suggest Federal victory as they occupy the field, it fails to capture the true outcome accurately. The Confederate counterattack proved formidable enough to prevent Union forces from claiming triumph at Cedar Mountain. Immersed in history, this print transports viewers back to that fateful day when brave men fought valiantly for their respective causes on American soil. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during one of our nation's darkest chapters – an enduring testament to resilience and courage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on those who served with unwavering dedication on both sides – unionists and Confederates alike – forever etching their names into America's storied past.
