"Capturing History: The Artistry & Allison" Step back in time and witness pivotal moments in American history through the stunning lithographs created by Kurz & Allison. From the blood-soaked Battle of Franklin, Tennessee in 1864 to the fall of Petersburg, Virginia during the Civil War, their artwork brings these events to life. With meticulous attention to detail, Kurz & Allison's lithographs transport us to the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia, where soldiers fought bravely on June 27th, 1864. Their artistry also immortalizes the harrowing Battle of Antietam in Maryland on September 17th, 1862. Not limited to war scenes alone, Kurz & Allison captured political campaigns as well. Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thurman grace one such lithograph campaign poster from 1888 – a testament to their influence during that era. The bravery and sacrifice of African American soldiers are celebrated too; their depiction storming Fort Wagner in South Carolina showcases the heroism of the 54th Massachusetts (Colored) Regiment on July 18th, 1863. Beyond historical events, Kurz & Allison explored other subjects as well. In "Whose music is that which you were playing just now?" we glimpse into an intriguing musical moment from1907 with its creator still unknown. Their talent extended beyond wars and politics; they even depicted architectural marvels like Schinkel Karl Friedrich's observatory shortly before its demolition in Berlin (1913). Kurz & Allison's artistic prowess was not confined solely to America either. Rear Admiral George Dewey's triumph at Manila Bay during Spanish-American War found its place among their masterpieces. Even natural disasters couldn't escape their skilled hands - capturing Louisville's great tornado and fire of March 27th, 1890 with haunting beauty. Through these captivating lithographs by Kurz & Allison, we are transported to the past, witnessing history unfold before our eyes.
