EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Fairfax Court-House, June 1863" captures a significant moment in American history. Taken by the talented photographer Alexander Gardner during the American Civil War, this image showcases Union soldiers occupying the court house in Fairfax, Virginia. The architectural features of the courthouse stand tall and proud against the backdrop of a war-torn country. The belvedere atop the building adds an elegant touch to this scene of occupation. Surrounding it are lush plants that remind us that nature continues to thrive even amidst conflict. In this photograph, a group of male soldiers can be seen outside the courthouse, standing as a symbol of strength and determination. Their presence signifies their occupation of enemy territory during one of America's most turbulent periods. Gardner's artistry shines through in his masterful composition and use of black and white tones. This albumen silver print is part of Gardner's renowned "Photographic Sketch Book of the War". Volume I (1866), which documented various aspects and scenes from the Civil War era. Today, this powerful image serves as a reminder not only of our nation's past but also as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
