EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sheet music cover of "A Message from the Battlefield" published in 1864. The coloured lithograph, created by James Fuller Queen, depicts a poignant scene set during the American Civil War. In this artwork, we see a soldier lying wounded on a bed in a hospital ward. Beside him stands his wife, anxiously reading him a letter that has just arrived from the battlefield. A young boy sits at their feet, holding onto his mother's skirt for comfort and support. The composition is rich with details that tell us more about the context of this emotional moment. On the bedside table rests a bottle of Helmbold's Extract Buchu, an herbal remedy manufactured by Henry T. Helmbold and dedicated to whom this piece is named after - Henry T. Helmbold himself. The presence of patent medicine suggests that it was commonly used during those times as soldiers sought relief from their injuries and ailments on battlefields far away from home. Through this image, we witness not only the physical wounds suffered by soldiers but also the enduring love and care provided by their families back home. It serves as a reminder of both the sacrifices made during war and the strength found within familial bonds. Overall, this sheet music cover offers viewers an evocative glimpse into history while celebrating themes of resilience and devotion amidst challenging circumstances.
