EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group portrait captures the Band of the 10th Veteran Reserve Corps, assembled in Washington, D.C. on April 1, 1865. The 15 uniformed musicians, each holding their respective instruments, exude a sense of pride and camaraderie as they stand before their audience. Two drums take center stage in the foreground, adding to the visual rhythm of the image. The 10th Veteran Reserve Corps was formed in 1863 to provide support services for the Union Army during the American Civil War. The veterans in this band had previously served in various military units and came together to perform at military events and entertain the troops. Their presence in Washington, D.C. during the final days of the war signified the imminent end of the conflict. The date of the photograph, April 1, 1865, holds significant historical importance as it marks the day before President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The Band of the 10th Veteran Reserve Corps played at Ford's Theatre on the night of Lincoln's assassination, providing a poignant musical backdrop to the tragic events that unfolded. This photograph, printed later, offers a glimpse into the lives of these brave men who served their country during a time of great turmoil and change. Their dedication to music and their military duties highlights the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
