EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the historic Campbell Hospital in Washington D. C. during the tumultuous years of 1861-65, amidst the American Civil War. Although its creator remains unknown, it was previously attributed to renowned photographer Mathew B. Brady. This haunting image showcases the exterior of Campbell General Hospital, a significant military medical facility during that era. The building stands as a testament to the resilience and dedication of those who served on both sides of the conflict. In this snapshot frozen in time, a lone man can be seen standing outside the hospital's entrance. His presence evokes a sense of contemplation and reflection upon the immense suffering experienced within those walls. Campbell Hospital played an essential role in providing care for wounded soldiers from across America, serving as a beacon of hope amid chaos and devastation. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and bravery. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print from glass negative offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not only architectural details but also preserving memories that would have otherwise been lost to time. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, we are reminded of our country's past struggles while honoring those who fought valiantly for freedom and unity during one of America's darkest chapters - forever etched in black and white through Mathew B. Brady's lens or another anonymous artist's eye.
