EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of life during the American Civil War. This print, published in Harpers Weekly in 1863, offers a glimpse into the harsh conditions faced by soldiers stationed at military camps. In this scene, we see a group of weary soldiers seeking respite from the wintry weather outside. Gathered around an open fire, they huddle together for warmth and camaraderie.
