EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the American Civil War era, specifically to the Union Cavalry Winter Quarters between 1861 and 1865. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, although it was previously attributed to the renowned photographer Mathew B. Brady. The photograph showcases a scene filled with historical significance and military life during that time period. A group of log cabins, serving as barracks for the Union Army, are nestled in a snowy landscape. These simple yet sturdy structures provided shelter for soldiers who fought bravely for their country's cause. Intriguingly, horses play a prominent role in this composition. Several majestic steeds can be seen standing outside the cabins or being tended by soldiers nearby. These loyal animals were essential companions to cavalry troops during wartime operations. As we gaze at this albumen silver print from a glass negative, we cannot help but feel transported back in time. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of America's heritage – one marked by sacrifice, bravery, and resilience. This extraordinary piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection – an invaluable addition that allows future generations to appreciate and learn from our nation's history through photography.
