Old Abe - the Wisconsin War Eagle, c. 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This albumen print, captured by Henry Hamilton Bennett in the late 19th century, showcases the majestic "Old Abe - the Wisconsin War Eagle". The photograph is part of Bennett's renowned series titled "Wayside Gems" which beautifully captures iconic American subjects. In this black and white stereo print, Old Abe stands proudly as a symbol of strength and resilience during the American Civil War. With his piercing gaze and outstretched wingspan, he embodies both grace and power. This remarkable bird of prey served as a mascot for a Wisconsin regiment during the war, becoming an emblematic figure for their courage on the battlefield. Bennett's artistry shines through in this image as he expertly captures every intricate detail of Old Abe's feathers with stunning clarity. The composition draws attention to both the eagle and its surroundings – an artillery-filled country landscape that reflects the tumultuous times of war. As we admire this historic photograph at The Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back to a crucial period in American history when bravery was tested on battlefields across our nation. Through Bennett's lens, we witness not only a magnificent creature but also an enduring symbol of patriotism and unity. This albumen silver print serves as a testament to Henry Hamilton Bennett's mastery in stereoscopic photography while paying homage to one of America's most revered avian mascots – Old Abe: The Wisconsin War Eagle.
