EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to April 1863, capturing a scene of bustling activity at Hay Wharf in Alexandria, Virginia. The photographer behind this remarkable image is A. J. Russell, an American artist known for his exceptional documentation of the Civil War era. In this black and white albumen silver print, we are transported to a moment when hay was a vital commodity for transportation and agriculture. The wharf is teeming with workers loading and unloading bales of hay onto boats that line the waterfront. Their diligent efforts create a sense of purpose and industry against the backdrop of historical Alexandria. The composition showcases Russell's keen eye for detail as he expertly captures the textures and shadows cast by both man-made structures and natural elements surrounding the wharf. The play between light and dark adds depth to this snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the sounds of horses' hooves on cobblestone streets mingling with lively conversations among workers. It serves as a testament not only to Russell's artistic prowess but also to the significance of trade during this pivotal period in American history. This exquisite print offers viewers an opportunity to step into another era, where everyday scenes like those at Hay Wharf were part of daily life in Alexandria, Virginia – forever immortalized through A. J. Russell's lens.
