EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print captures a poignant moment during the Wilderness campaign of the American Civil War. In this historic image, an emaciated Union soldier can be seen desperately chasing after a pig in the midst of a dense Virginia wilderness. The year is 1864, and hunger has become an all too familiar companion for soldiers on both sides of the conflict. As supplies dwindle and food becomes scarce, this brave soldier takes matters into his own hands, determined to secure sustenance for himself and his comrades. With every ounce of energy he possesses, he pursues the elusive hog through thick underbrush and treacherous terrain. The illustration serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who fought in one of America's bloodiest wars. It showcases not only their resilience but also their resourcefulness in times of dire need. This scene encapsulates the daily struggle for survival that plagued soldiers on both sides throughout this brutal conflict. Through its vivid colors and intricate details, this vintage artwork transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when North America was divided by rebellion. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of these courageous men who fought valiantly amidst unimaginable hardship. This remarkable piece stands as a testament to our nation's past and serves as an enduring symbol of sacrifice and determination during one of America's most tumultuous periods—the Civil War.
