EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Formation of Guerrilla Bands" captures a poignant moment during the American Civil War. Created by Adalbert John Volck in the late 19th century, this print showcases the aftermath of destruction and the call to arms. In the foreground, an enraged figure passionately pleads with a farmer whose homestead has been ravaged by Union forces. The devastated farmer sits amidst the ruins of his home alongside his wife and young son, their expressions reflecting both grief and contemplation. Meanwhile, smoldering buildings in the background hint at further devastation inflicted upon their community. The artist skillfully portrays a group of determined men forming a guerrilla band behind them. With raised fists defiantly clenched and a banner proclaiming "No more surrenders" these fighters symbolize resistance against oppression and retaliation for their losses. This evocative scene highlights themes of conflict, resilience, and unity within families torn apart by war. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst despair, hope can be found through collective action. Volck's etching not only captures historical events but also conveys emotions that resonate across time. Through its meticulous details and compelling composition, it invites viewers to reflect on the sacrifices made during times of strife while inspiring us to stand up against injustice together.
