EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures General Robert E. Lee, the renowned American Confederate soldier, in 1865. As the foremost Confederate general during the American Civil War, Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862. In his final year as a military leader, he was appointed General-in-Chief of Confederate forces but ultimately faced surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9th, 1865. Taken after this historic moment, the photograph showcases Lee standing proudly in a basement below the back porch of his home on Franklin Street in Richmond, Virginia. The image exudes strength and determination as Lee dons his military dress suit with an impressive beard that adds to his commanding presence. The significance of General Robert E. Lee extends beyond his role as a soldier; he remains an esteemed figure for many in the American South even today. This particular print is from Mathew Brady Historian with a Camera by James D Horan and offers viewers a glimpse into history through its black and white composition. As we observe this portrait capturing one of America's most influential figures from the nineteenth century, it serves as a reminder of both our nation's complex past and its enduring legacy.
