EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Civil War, Attack and Retreat" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene of chaos and humor. The engraving, created by an English School artist, captures the essence of a street during civil war times. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the flurry of activity unfolding before us. Amidst a backdrop of snow-covered streets, sedan chairs carry individuals through the chaos while others engage in intense snowball fights. The atmosphere is filled with both tension and lightheartedness as attackers launch their snowy projectiles at unsuspecting victims. This image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News' Christmas Number in 1885. It serves as a reminder that even during times of conflict and strife, moments of levity can be found amidst the turmoil. The attention to detail within this engraving is remarkable; every figure seems alive with movement and emotion. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand how people coped with adversity through playfulness. "Civil War, Attack and Retreat" offers a glimpse into history's lesser-known aspects – not just battles but also everyday scenes that reveal humanity's resilience and ability to find joy even in challenging circumstances. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate art's power to capture historical moments while reminding us that laughter can still prevail amidst turmoil.
