EDITORS COMMENTS
MEMORIAL DAY, 1868: Orphan Children Pay Tribute to Fallen Civil War Soldiers at Arlington Cemetery". This poignant photograph captures a solemn moment in history as orphan children gather at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day, May 30th, 1868. In the aftermath of the devastating Civil War, these young boys and girls are seen laying wreaths and strewing flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers from both sides of the conflict. The image showcases a scene filled with deep respect and remembrance. Dressed in their finest attire, these children stand amidst rows upon rows of gravestones adorned with decorative bouquets. Their hats held tightly against their chests, they honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The wood engraving by C. M. Thomas beautifully captures this significant event that marked the first nationwide observance of Memorial (Decoration) Day. The artwork's intricate details evoke a sense of mourning and reflection as it transports us back to that mid-19th century day when America came together to pay tribute to its fallen heroes. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember not only the brave soldiers laid to rest but also the resilience and unity displayed by these orphaned children. Their act of honoring those lost in battle serves as a timeless reminder that even in times of great sorrow, hope can be found through collective remembrance.
