EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Duryea Zouaves, Fort Schuyler Adjutants Mess, May 18,1861" captures a significant moment in American history. Taken by Stacy during the 19th century, this photograph showcases members of the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, known as Duryea Zouaves. The image portrays a group of African American soldiers dressed in their distinctive zouave uniforms. These brave men were part of the Union Army during the American Civil War and played a crucial role in defending their country. The photo was taken at Fort Schuyler in Bronx, New York City. In this scene from camp life, we see several soldiers gathered around a tent with mess tins in hand. Their serious expressions hint at the challenges they faced on the battlefield while also reflecting their determination to protect their nation's heritage. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this albumen silver print offers us an intimate glimpse into military life during that tumultuous period. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these courageous individuals who fought for freedom and equality. Stacy's skillful composition and use of photography add depth to this historical artifact. Through this image, we are transported back to May 18th, 1861 – a time when America was divided but united under one cause: preserving its identity amidst war-torn landscapes.
