EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant lithograph by Currier & Ives, we witness a heart-wrenching moment as an Off For the War Unionist soldier bids farewell to his family before leaving for the American Civil War. The scene captures the emotions of both hope and despair that characterized this tumultuous period in American history. The soldier stands tall and resolute, dressed in his uniform, ready to defend his beliefs and fight for what he holds dear. His family surrounds him, their faces etched with worry and sadness. A wife clings tightly to her husband's arm, tears streaming down her face as she tries to be strong for him. Their children look on with wide eyes filled with confusion and fear. The composition is masterfully executed by Currier & Ives, showcasing their skill in capturing human emotion through art. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the gravity of the situation at hand. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless families during this dark chapter in American history. It speaks volumes about loyalty, duty, and love amidst times of uncertainty. As we gaze upon this piece from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a tender yet heartbreaking farewell between a Unionist soldier and his beloved family before embarking on a journey into war-torn America.
