EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history. The image features General Ulysses Grant, an esteemed soldier and politician, leaning over the shoulder of General George Meade during the 1860s. Ulysses Simpson Grant, who commanded the Union army during the American Civil War, played a pivotal role in leading his troops to victory. His military prowess earned him recognition as one of America's greatest commanders. In addition to his military achievements, Grant was elected as the 18th President of the United States in 1869. Serving two terms until 1877, he left an indelible mark on American politics and governance. The photograph is part of Mathew Brady Historian with a Camera by James D Horan published in 1955. It offers viewers a glimpse into this important era through its monochrome depiction of these influential figures. General George Gordon Meade can be seen seated on a bench while Grant leans attentively over his shoulder. This image not only showcases their camaraderie but also symbolizes their shared dedication to preserving unity within the nation during times of conflict. As we reflect upon this remarkable piece of history captured by Tim O'Sullivan's lens, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by brave soldiers like Grant and Meade for their country.
