EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "[Herd of Horses]" is a remarkable piece from the Brady album, page 123, dating back to the years 1861-65. Although its creator remains unknown, it was previously attributed to the renowned Mathew B. Brady. The image transports us to a bygone era in American history when agriculture and livestock farming were integral parts of daily life. The scene showcases a sprawling cattle ranch set against the backdrop of rural America during the 19th century. A majestic herd of horses takes center stage in this composition, their powerful presence evoking a sense of freedom and untamed beauty. These magnificent creatures symbolize both strength and grace as they roam freely across vast open fields. Through this photograph's monochromatic lens, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by our ancestors who worked tirelessly on these lands. It serves as an ode to their dedication and resilience in shaping America's agricultural heritage. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this albumen silver print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon our nation's past struggles during the American Civil War. As we gaze at this extraordinary artwork today, we are transported back to an era where horses roamed free on expansive ranches - reminding us that even amidst conflict and turmoil, nature continued its timeless cycle undisturbed.
