EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the construction of a pontoon bridge over the James River in 1864. The albumen silver print beautifully captures the grandeur and scale of this engineering marvel, showcasing its intricate details with remarkable clarity. Measuring an impressive 127 x 197 cm, this glass negative turned into an exquisite work of art transports us to a time when Andrew Joseph Russell, an American photographer renowned for his documentary images during the Civil War era, immortalized this iconic scene. His photographs have become invaluable historical records that provide us with glimpses into America's past. The pontoon bridge itself is awe-inspiring; it stretches across the vast expanse of water, connecting two shores that were once separated. Its sturdy structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in times of conflict. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear echoes of soldiers marching across its planks and feel their anticipation as they embark on their journey. This photograph serves as a reminder of our nation's resilience and unity during challenging times. It invites us to reflect on how far we've come while honoring those who fought bravely for what they believed in. Let it be cherished not only for its artistic value but also for its ability to transport us back in time and connect us with our shared heritage.
