EDITORS COMMENTS
Buzzard Roost, GA, 1866: A Glimpse into the Aftermath of the American Civil War". In this black and white albumen print captured by George N. Barnard in 1866, we are transported back to Buzzard Roost, Georgia, a small town deeply affected by the ravages of the American Civil War. This photograph is plate 18 from Barnard's renowned album "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign" (1866), which documented General William T. Sherman's infamous march through Georgia. The image depicts a desolate country road winding its way through a war-torn landscape. The haunting silence and eerie stillness evoke a sense of loss and destruction that permeated many Southern towns during this tumultuous period in history. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but reflect on the immense human suffering endured by both Union and Confederate soldiers and civilians alike. Barnard's masterful composition captures not only physical remnants of war – shattered buildings and charred trees – but also conveys an emotional narrative that speaks volumes about resilience amidst adversity. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate the profound impact of conflict on individuals and communities. This artwork now resides at the Art Institute Chicago as part of their esteemed collection. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past struggles while honoring George N. Barnard's contribution to documenting history through photography.
