EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the U. S. Monitor Lehigh, a formidable warship that played a significant role during the American Civil War. Created by an unknown photographer, this image showcases the ironclad vessel in all its glory on the James River between 1861 and 1865. The photograph provides a glimpse into history, showcasing the power of naval warfare during this tumultuous period in American history. The deck of the ship is bustling with sailors, men who bravely served their country amidst turbulent times. Mathew B. Brady was once attributed to this stunning piece of artistry; however, its true creator remains unknown. Nevertheless, it stands as a testament to their skillful eye for detail and composition. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported back to an era when armaments ruled these waters. The USS Lehigh looms large against the backdrop of serene river waters—a symbol of strength and determination. This print not only serves as a reminder of our nation's past but also highlights America's rich maritime heritage. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, there were individuals who risked everything to protect their countrymen aboard these mighty vessels. Let us cherish this remarkable piece from our United States Navy's history—an enduring tribute to those who fought valiantly during one of America's most challenging chapters—the Civil War.
