EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen print captures a significant moment from the American Civil War. Taken by George N. Barnard as part of his renowned "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign" series in 1866, this image showcases a Union soldier standing amidst Confederate cannons. The photograph transports us back to the heart of the conflict as we witness the aftermath of battle. The soldier's presence adds a human element to an otherwise desolate scene, reminding us that war is fought by individuals with their own stories and motivations. The fortifications and barricades surrounding him serve as a stark reminder of the intense struggle for control over Atlanta during this pivotal period in history. The heavy artillery scattered across the landscape symbolizes both power and destruction. Barnard's composition skillfully captures not only the physical remnants of war but also conveys a sense of resilience and determination displayed by those involved on both sides. Through his lens, he immortalizes this crucial chapter in American history. Displayed at an art gallery or museum such as the Art Institute Chicago, this albumen silver print serves as a testament to Barnard's artistic talent and historical documentation prowess. It allows viewers to reflect upon our country's past while appreciating photography as an art form capable of preserving moments that shaped our nation forever.
