EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a haunting moment in American history - the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam during the Civil War. The image showcases Dunker Church, standing tall amidst a desolate battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers. Alexander Gardner, a Scottish photographer who found his new home in America, skillfully captured this poignant scene using albumen print techniques. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable as rows upon rows of deceased soldiers are laid out on makeshift stretchers and blankets. Each life lost represents a story untold, dreams unfulfilled, and families left grieving. This photograph serves as an enduring testament to the devastating toll that war exacts on humanity. Gardner's expertise shines through in his composition and attention to detail; every soldier's position is carefully arranged, creating a somber yet visually striking tableau. The architectural beauty of Dunker Church stands juxtaposed against the grim reality surrounding it - an eerie reminder that even places of worship cannot escape the horrors of conflict. As we gaze upon this vintage piece, we are transported back to 19th-century America, where war raged and lives were forever changed. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of human resilience amidst tragedy. In preserving this image within their Photographic Art Gallery on Seventh Street in Washington D. C. , Gardner ensures that future generations can bear witness to one of America's darkest chapters while appreciating photography as an art form capable of capturing profound moments frozen
