EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Picket Guard. Who goes there Friends, Dismount one friend, advance and give the countersign, 1863 January?", we are transported back to a crucial moment during the American Civil War. The drawing on brown paper pencil and Chinese white beautifully captures the intensity of the scene, measuring 24.5 x 26.1 cm. Created by Alfred R Waud, an esteemed American artist renowned for his remarkable sketches of the Civil War era, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent in bringing history to life through art. As we gaze upon this piece, our eyes are drawn to a group of soldiers forming a picket guard. Their vigilant stance conveys their dedication and commitment to protecting their comrades and ensuring safety within their camp. The tension is palpable as they challenge an approaching figure with cautionary words: "Who goes there? Friends". They request that one friend dismounts while advancing towards them to provide the countersign - a secret password used for identification purposes during wartime. This snapshot frozen in time encapsulates not only the bravery and camaraderie shared among soldiers but also highlights how war necessitates constant vigilance even during moments of supposed respite. Quint Lox's preservation of this historical gem from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both Waud's artistic prowess and gain insight into an important chapter in American history—the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly in defense of their beliefs.
