EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cannon, Fortress Monroe, ca. 1864" was taken by the renowned photographer Alexander Gardner during the American Civil War. The image showcases a powerful cannon positioned within the fortified walls of Fortress Monroe in Virginia. Gardner's expert use of albumen silver print from a glass negative captures every intricate detail of this historical scene. The cannon stands tall as a symbol of armaments and warfare that defined this tumultuous period in American history. The fortification itself serves as a reminder of the country's determination to protect its borders and maintain its sovereignty during times of conflict. In this particular shot, we see a lone male soldier standing beside the cannon, representing the countless brave men who fought for their nation's cause. Through his lens, Gardner transports us back to an era when these weapons were not just objects but instruments that shaped destinies on battlefields across America. This photograph is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, preserving our heritage and allowing us to reflect upon our past. As we gaze upon this striking image today, it serves as both a testament to human resilience and a somber reminder of the sacrifices made during war. It invites us to contemplate how far we have come since those turbulent times while acknowledging that history should never be forgotten or repeated.
