EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the U. S. Monitor Mahopac on the Appomattox River in 1864 during the American Civil War. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, although it was previously attributed to Mathew B. Brady, a renowned photographer of that era. The photograph showcases the imposing presence of the Mahopac, a naval ship used for warfare by the United States Navy during this turbulent period in history. The vessel stands tall against the backdrop of the river, symbolizing strength and resilience amidst conflict. A group of sailors can be seen aboard the ship, their figures adding scale and human interest to this historical snapshot. Their presence reminds us of those who bravely served their country during times of war. The landscape surrounding the river provides context to this scene - an untouched geographical feature that has witnessed countless battles fought on its shores throughout history. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print from a glass negative serves as a testament to our nation's heritage and is an important reminder of past struggles and sacrifices made for freedom. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - one that encapsulates both beauty and turmoil within its frame.
