EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Crescent Regt. of New Orleans in the 'Hornets Nest', 1887" captures a significant moment from the American Civil War. Taken by renowned photographer Henry Hamilton Bennett as part of his series "The Chicago Panorama of the [1862] Battle of Shiloh" this albumen print stereo transports us back to a crucial chapter in American history. In this image, we witness the brave soldiers of the Crescent Regiment, hailing from New Orleans and fighting for the Confederate States Army during the Battle of Shiloh. The Hornets Nest, a strategic position on Pittsburg Landing, becomes their battleground as they valiantly defend their cause against Union forces. Bennett's expert composition brings depth and dimension to this historic scene. The albumen silver print technique adds richness and texture to every detail captured within its frame. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these soldiers but also of the immense sacrifices made during one of America's bloodiest conflicts. Preserved at the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Bennett's artistic prowess and our nation's tumultuous past. It stands as an enduring reminder that even amidst chaos and division, there is beauty in capturing moments that shape our collective identity.
