EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Memorial Day, 1868. It captures a solemn scene in Cypress Hills Cemetery, near Brooklyn, New York, as men and women gather to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers. The image is a contemporary American wood engraving based on an original drawing by Stanley Fox. In this poignant moment frozen in time, we witness individuals kneeling before tombstones adorned with flowers. Their heads are bowed in mourning and respect for the fallen heroes who gave their lives during the brutal conflict that divided our nation. The atmosphere is one of somber reflection as they honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The composition beautifully portrays the unity and commemoration felt by both men and women from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that Memorial Day was not just about paying tribute to fallen soldiers but also about bringing together a grieving community.
