EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Near Dutch Gap, Virginia. Fort Brady, ca. 1865" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the American Civil War. Captured by William Frank Browne, this image showcases the impressive fortification known as Fort Brady during its heyday. The photograph transports us to a time when tensions ran high and armaments were essential for defense. The carefully constructed earthworks and cannons stand tall against the backdrop of a serene landscape near Dutch Gap Canal in Virginia. Soldiers can be seen scattered throughout the scene, reminding us of their unwavering dedication to protecting their country. Browne's expert use of albumen silver print from glass negative technique adds depth and texture to this historic image. As we gaze upon this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of Mathew B. Brady's influence on early photography through his former attribution to this work. This photo not only captures a significant moment in our nation's past but also serves as an important reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war. It stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination that shaped America into what it is today. As we admire Browne's skillful composition and attention to detail, let us reflect on how far our country has come since those tumultuous days while honoring those who fought bravely for our freedom.
