EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the American Civil War era, specifically to the U. S. Monitor Saugus that served from 1861 to 1865. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, although it was previously attributed to Mathew B. Brady, a renowned photographer of the time. The photograph showcases the ironclad warship in all its glory, highlighting its impressive size and formidable presence on the river. The Saugus stands as a symbol of naval warfare during this tumultuous period in American history. The landscape surrounding the ship adds depth and context to the image, reminding us of both the geographical features and historical significance associated with this vessel. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece, we are transported back in time, envisioning how crucial water transport was for military operations during wartime. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this albumen silver print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important part of our country's heritage. It serves as a reminder of our nation's resilience and determination during times of conflict. As we admire this photograph today, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served aboard these warships and appreciate their role in shaping America's history.
