EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a poignant moment during the American Civil War in 1863, as Miss Laura Lee of Winchester, Virginia, waves a Confederate flag. The flag, which was later given to the Illustrated London News (ILN) special artist, Frank Vizetelly, is a testament to the deep-rooted emotions and loyalty that defined the Confederate cause. Miss Laura Lee, a young and brave woman from Winchester, was known for her unwavering support for the Confederacy. As the war raged on, she made this flag herself, imbuing it with her personal touch and dedication. The flag, with its distinctive stars and bars, was a symbol of the Confederate States of America and the belief in states' rights and independence from the federal government. The image of Miss Laura Lee waving the flag captures the spirit of the Confederacy and the determination of its people. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the future of the nation hung in the balance, and the decisions made during the Civil War would shape the course of American history. Frank Vizetelly, a skilled artist, was commissioned by the ILN to document the war and its impact on the people. He captured the essence of this moment, immortalizing it in this engraving. The image was imported to the UK and published in the Illustrated London News, providing a window into the American Civil War for readers on the other side of the Atlantic. This historic engraving is a valuable piece of American and Civil War history, offering a glimpse into the past and the emotions that drove the people of the Confederacy during a pivotal moment in their nation's history.
