EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Death of Col. Edward D. Baker, at the Battle of Balls Bluff near Leesburg VA" depicts a pivotal moment in American history during the Civil War. Published by Currier & Ives around 1861, this color lithograph showcases the tragic demise of Colonel Edward D. Baker. Col. Baker, a distinguished U. S. Senator and Union Army regiment leader, met his untimely end on October 21st, 1861 while bravely fighting at the Battle of Balls Bluff. The image captures the intensity and chaos of battle as swords clash, pistols are fired, and bayonets pierce through the air. In this scene from that fateful day, we witness Col. Baker valiantly raising his sword to confront an enemy Confederate soldier who stands ready with a raised rifle. The Unionist flag flies proudly in the background amidst smoke-filled skies. This powerful visual encapsulates not only the ferocity of combat but also represents a larger struggle for unity within America itself during one of its darkest periods—the American Civil War. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this historic artwork serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought and sacrificed their lives for their beliefs on both sides of this devastating conflict.
