EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating impact of shells upon the enemies' rifle pits at the crossing over the Rappahannock River on June 5th, 1863. Created by renowned American artist Alfred R. Waud, famous for his remarkable sketches during the American Civil War, this drawing on tan paper showcases his exceptional talent. Waud's meticulous pencil strokes and ink wash techniques bring to life the chaos and destruction that unfolded during this pivotal moment in history. The Chinese white accents add depth and intensity to each shell explosion depicted in this artwork. Measuring 23.8 x 35.0 cm, this print transports us back to a time when war ravaged our nation. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by both sides in their struggle for victory. The Rappahannock River served as a strategic location during numerous battles throughout the Civil War, making it an important crossing point for troops from both armies. This image not only portrays the physical effects of artillery fire but also symbolizes the immense human toll that warfare exacts. As we reflect upon this powerful piece of artistry by Alfred R. Waud, we are reminded of how art can capture moments in history with such vividness and emotion. It stands as a testament to Waud's skillful ability to document significant events while evoking empathy and understanding from those who view his work today.
