EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of the 164th New York Infantry during the American Civil War. Taken around 1861, this image showcases a group of brave soldiers dressed in their distinctive Zouave uniforms, which were inspired by French North African regiments. The men stand proudly, showcasing their military heritage and dedication to their country. Each soldier is armed with a weapon, highlighting their readiness for warfare. Their hats include fezzes and tarbooshes, adding an unusual touch to their attire. Although the creator of this powerful image remains unknown, it was formerly attributed to Mathew B. Brady, a renowned photographer of that era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this remarkable albumen silver print from a glass negative. As we gaze upon these courageous individuals frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during one of America's darkest periods. This photograph serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to the strength and resilience displayed by those who fought for freedom. With its rich details and evocative composition, this print offers us a glimpse into the lives of these valiant men who served in the 164th New York Infantry regiment—a true tribute to our nation's past.
