EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a significant chapter in American history - the American Civil War. In the foreground, we are greeted by three horse-drawn covered wagons, their sturdy frames standing as symbols of resilience and mobility amidst chaos. Behind them, rows of small cabins and tents create an atmosphere that hints at the hardships faced by soldiers during this tumultuous time. The soldiers themselves march in formation between these makeshift dwellings, their disciplined strides reflecting both determination and unity. Their presence evokes a sense of duty and sacrifice as they navigate through the challenges presented by war. Captured by Alexander Gardner, a Scottish photographer who found his new home in the United States in 1856, this albumen print showcases his keen eye for detail and composition. Gardner's work has left an indelible mark on photographic artistry with its ability to transport viewers to another era. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph with its retro styling reminiscent of 19th-century aesthetics, we can't help but be drawn into a world long gone yet still resonating within our collective memory. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past struggles while also celebrating the enduring spirit that carried us through those difficult times.
