EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a defining moment in American history - the Battle of Antietam during the Civil War. The image, captured by Scottish photographer Alexander Gardner, showcases the aftermath of Sumners Corps' charge against the enemy. It portrays a scene of tremendous conflict and devastation. As our eyes wander across this haunting battlefield, we are confronted with a chilling sight: fallen soldiers lie motionless on the ground, their sacrifice forever etched into history. In the background, a wagon stands as a solemn reminder of logistical challenges faced during wartime. Gardner's albumen print technique brings an air of authenticity to this vintage photograph. His skillful composition and attention to detail transport us back to that fateful day in 1862 when thousands lost their lives fighting for their beliefs. The Gardner Photographic Art Gallery in Washington proudly presents this piece as part of its collection. This snapshot serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of one of America's bloodiest battles. With its retro style and Victorian charm, this print evokes emotions and sparks curiosity about our nation's past. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during such tumultuous times. Let this remarkable image serve as a window into history - reminding us never to forget those who came before us and shaped our present-day world through their courage and resilience.
