EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures the intense naval engagement between the USS Kearsage and CSS Alabama during the American Civil War. Created by Louis Lebreton, this print showcases a pivotal moment in history when the Union Navy triumphed over Confederate forces. The scene depicts billowing gunsmoke enveloping both vessels as they fiercely battle on the open sea. The mighty USS Kearsage, representing the Union Navy, stands resolute against its adversary, CSS Alabama. This clash of naval power symbolizes not only a fight for supremacy but also a struggle to secure vital supplies for Union troops. Set just outside Cherbourg Harbour in France on June 19th, 1864, this historic encounter resulted in the sinking of CSS Alabama by USS Kearsage. The Confederate raider had been wreaking havoc on Union merchant ships that were crucial for supplying troops fighting in the war. Lebreton's meticulous attention to detail brings this dramatic moment to life. From listing masts to brave sailors manning lifeboats amidst chaos and destruction, every element conveys a sense of urgency and bravery exhibited by those involved. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection, this remarkable print serves as an enduring reminder of courage and sacrifice during one of America's darkest periods. Its historical significance resonates with viewers today while honoring those who fought valiantly at sea during this monumental conflict.
