EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the retreat of Union soldiers after the intense battle at Balls Bluff on the Upper Potomac River, Virginia. The image, a contemporary English wood engraving from 1861, transports us back to that fateful day on October 21st. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of fierce combat as Union soldiers navigate their way through a dense forest and treacherous terrain. The soldiers appear weary and determined as they make their way towards safety. Some can be seen swimming across the river while others traverse hills with an air of urgency. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings life to this historical event. The engraving beautifully depicts the natural beauty surrounding Balls Bluff - lush greenery contrasting against the calm waters of Potomac River. As we gaze upon this image, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during one of America's darkest periods. It symbolizes not only physical retreat but also resilience and determination in times of adversity. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece that allows us to connect with our nation's past. This print is more than just art; it is a window into history itself - reminding us never to forget those who fought bravely for what they believed in.
