EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen print, titled "Fortifications at Manassas, March 1862" offers a poignant glimpse into the tumultuous era of the American Civil War. Captured by photographers Barnard & Gibson, this scene from their renowned album "Gardners Photographic Sketch Book of the War" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The photograph showcases soldiers diligently constructing fortifications using barrels filled with earth. These brave men are depicted amidst a landscape scarred by conflict, their determination evident as they build trenches and earthworks to defend against enemy forces. The image highlights both the ingenuity and hardships faced by those who fought during this pivotal period. George N. Barnard and James F. Gibson's artistic prowess is evident in their composition, which expertly captures not only the physicality of war but also its emotional weight. Through their lens, we witness a country divided yet united in its pursuit of victory. Preserved within an albumen silver print format popularized during the 19th century, this historical artifact now resides within the esteemed collection of Chicago's Art Institute.
