EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Medical Supply Boat Plauter, on the Appomattox. January 1865" captures a significant moment in American history during the Civil War. Taken by John Reekie, this albumen print mounted on wove paper measures 17.8x23 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. The image showcases a paddle boat named Plauter that served as a medical supply vessel on the Appomattox River in January 1865. This photograph is part of Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War, Volume II, which documents various aspects of military life during this tumultuous period. In this monochrome photograph, we see Union soldiers aboard the Plauter as it navigates through the river waters. The steamship played a crucial role in transporting essential medical supplies to wounded soldiers and field hospitals along its route. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by both soldiers and civilians during wartime. It highlights not only their resilience but also their commitment to providing necessary care for those injured in battle. As we observe this historical artifact from over 150 years ago, let us remember and honor all those who sacrificed their lives for our nation's freedom during one of its most challenging periods – the American Civil War.
