EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the American Civil War, as depicted by renowned artist Alfred R. Waud. Titled "Shelling the rebel rifle pits on the Rappahannock, previous to the third crossing of Sedgwick's corps June 5th, 1863" this drawing on brown paper with pencil and Chinese white showcases Waud's incredible talent for capturing historical events. In this scene, we witness intense artillery fire targeting rebel rifle pits along the Rappahannock River. The meticulous details in Waud's work transport us back to that fateful day in June 1863 when General John Sedgwick's corps prepared for their third crossing. The smoke-filled sky and explosive bursts of shells create a sense of urgency and tension. Waud was celebrated for his ability to document significant moments from the American Civil War through his sketches. His dedication to accuracy and attention to detail made him an invaluable chronicler of history. This particular piece measures 22.6 x 34.6 cm and was created between 1862-1865. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during one of America's most tumultuous periods. It serves as a testament to Waud's skill as an artist and his commitment to preserving these important chapters in our nation's past.
