EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by Frank Vizetelly captures a pivotal moment in American history: the Review of the Federal Troops by President Abraham Lincoln and General Winfield Scott on Dec. 21, 1861, just over a year into the Civil War. The conflict, which began on April 12, 1861, had already claimed countless lives and irrevocably altered the nation's course. In this scene, the Garibaldi Guard, a company of Italian immigrants who had volunteered for the Union Army, file past their commanders. Their distinctive zouave uniforms, inspired by the French North African troops of the same name, made them a striking sight on the battlefield. Lincoln and Scott, both clad in heavy coats against the winter chill, observe the soldiers with a mixture of pride and concern. The Review of the Troops was an opportunity for the president and the general to assess the readiness of their forces as they prepared for the challenges ahead. The event took place at Fort Ethan Allen in Washington, D.C., and was attended by thousands of spectators, including members of Congress and diplomats from foreign embassies. This historical image, with its meticulous attention to detail and poignant sense of the moment, offers a glimpse into the early days of the Civil War and the determination of the men and leaders who fought to preserve the Union. Frank Vizetelly's skillful rendering of the scene underscores the importance of this period in American history and the sacrifices made by those who lived through it.
