EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Union headquarters at 26 South Battery Street in Charleston, South Carolina, during its occupation in 1865. Taken by an American photographer from the 19th century, this print showcases a significant moment in history. The villa is guarded by African-American soldiers, symbolizing the changing dynamics of power and freedom during this time. The image depicts the aftermath of President Lincoln's assassination in April 1865. As a sign of mourning, both the mansion's arcade columns are adorned with bunting and an American flag flies at half-staff. Adjacent to this building stands another mansion at 28 South Battery Street, which belonged to photographer George S. Cook. Although shuttered and awaiting his return with his family, it also displays bunting on its columns. Remarkably, both buildings have survived largely unchanged over time due to historic preservation efforts in Charleston. This photo has been enhanced by combining two wet-collodion glass negatives into one wide photograph after cleaning and repair. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal period in American history when war-torn Charleston was under Union control. It encapsulates not only the physical structures that witnessed these events but also represents the resilience and endurance of a city that continues to honor its past through preservation efforts today.
