EDITORS COMMENTS
Grant from West Point to Appomattox, 1885 (colour litho) captures the remarkable journey of Ulysses Simpson Grant, the 18th President of the United States and leader of the Union forces in the American Civil War. This print by Thure de Thulstrup showcases various significant moments in Grant's illustrious career. Starting with his graduation from West Point in 1843, we witness Grant's determination and dedication as he rises through the ranks. The artwork beautifully depicts him commanding an artillery crew during the Battle of Chapultepec in Mexico and drilling volunteers at the onset of the Civil War. The lithograph also highlights pivotal battles such as Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Siege of Vicksburg, and Chattanooga. These vignettes showcase Grant's strategic brilliance and unwavering resolve amidst intense conflict. One cannot overlook his appointment by President Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief in 1864, a testament to his exceptional leadership qualities. Finally, this extraordinary piece culminates with Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House in 1865—an iconic moment that marked a turning point in American history. Mounted proudly on horseback wearing his military uniform, Grant exudes strength and resilience throughout this visual narrative. The artist skillfully portrays both Grant's personal triumphs and America's fight for unity against all odds. This historic print serves as a reminder of one man’s indelible impact on our nation’s past—a true embodiment of courage
