EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the Lower Pontoon Bridge at Deep Bottom, James River in 1864. The image, captured by Andrew Joseph Russell, an esteemed American photographer of the 19th century, transports us back to a significant moment in history. The photograph is an albumen silver print made from a glass negative, which adds depth and texture to this remarkable piece of art. It beautifully captures the essence of a bridge that played a crucial role during the Civil War era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when tensions ran high and battles were fought on American soil. The Lower Pontoon Bridge served as a vital link for troops and supplies across the James River during this tumultuous period. Russell's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the engineering marvel of this pontoon bridge but also its strategic importance. We can almost hear echoes of soldiers' footsteps and feel their determination as they crossed over these pontoons towards uncertain futures. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It reminds us of our nation's past struggles while highlighting the skill and dedication required to capture such moments through photography. With every glance at this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded that history lives on through images like these – frozen fragments that continue to tell stories long after those who lived them have passed into memory.
