EDITORS COMMENTS
CIVIL WAR: UNION CAMP, 1861. This print takes us back to the early days of the Civil War, capturing a Union Army camp at the Battery in New York City. The wood engraving, sourced from an American newspaper of 1861, provides a glimpse into the bustling streets and encampments that emerged shortly after the outbreak of war. In this historic image, we see uniformed soldiers and citizens coexisting amidst their shared commitment to preserving the Union. The scene showcases Manhattan's middle-class neighborhood transformed into a temporary home for these brave troops. Tents dotting the landscape serve as shelter for weary soldiers who have answered their country's call. The presence of women is notable in this engraving, symbolizing their support and involvement during such turbulent times. As they stand alongside men dressed in Yankee attire, it becomes evident that patriotism knows no gender boundaries. The flag flying high above reminds us of the unyielding spirit and determination displayed by those fighting under its colors. It serves as a beacon of hope amid uncertain times. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on one chapter in our nation's history when unity was tested but ultimately prevailed. Let it serve as a reminder that even in moments of division, we can find strength through camaraderie and shared purpose.
