The Fall of Petersburg to the Union Army, 2nd April 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that depicts a significant moment in American history. Engraved by Kurz & Allison in 1893, this color lithograph beautifully captures the intensity and drama of the event. The image showcases the pivotal battle that took place in Petersburg, Virginia during the American Civil War. Serving as an essential rail center and strategic point for the defense of the Confederate capital, Petersburg was fiercely contested by both Union and Confederate forces. In this scene, we witness the relentless firepower exchanged between North and South. The deafening sound of cannons reverberates across the battlefield as federal troops advance towards victory. The smoke-filled air adds an eerie atmosphere to this historic moment. This particular campaign marked one of the final chapters in the Civil War. It ultimately led to General Robert E. Lee's surrender on April 9th, 1865 - a turning point that would shape America's future forever. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Peter Newark American Pictures' private collection, we are reminded of not only our nation's tumultuous past but also its resilience and unity in times of great adversity. This powerful visual narrative serves as a testament to those who fought valiantly for their beliefs and reminds us never to forget our shared history.
