EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the first naval combat between iron vessels during the American Civil War. The image showcases two mighty warships, each representing a different side of the conflict. On the left is the Confederate CSS Virginia, formerly known as the Merrimack, while on the right stands proudly the Union USS Monitor. This horizontal composition perfectly encapsulates their fierce engagement at Hampton Roads, Virginia. The photograph transports us back in time to this significant battle that forever changed naval warfare. It symbolizes not only a clash between North and South but also an encounter between traditional wooden ships and these new ironclads. The intensity of this fight is palpable through every detail captured by Ken Welsh's lens. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of America's great struggle for unity and freedom during one of its darkest periods. These illustrations serve as a reminder of how far our nation has come since those tumultuous times. In black and white, these engravings bring forth a sense of nostalgia and reverence for those who fought valiantly on both sides. They stand as testament to the bravery and determination displayed by Americans throughout history. Ken Welsh's work beautifully immortalizes this distinguished moment in American history, allowing us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how it has shaped our present-day United States.
