EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant pencil drawing by Edwin Forbes, titled "CIVIL WAR: SOLDIER. News From Home" we are transported back to the year 1863 in the midst of America's Civil War. The image captures a group of Union soldiers huddled together, seeking solace and connection with their loved ones through letters from home. The men, dressed in their worn-out uniforms, represent the middle-class Americans who left behind their families and comfortable lives to fight for what they believed in. With furrowed brows and intense concentration, they read each word on the precious piece of paper that brings them news from home. Forbes' meticulous attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the weariness etched on their faces and the weight of responsibility resting upon their shoulders. Each soldier becomes an individual story within this larger narrative of sacrifice and dedication. This drawing serves as a reminder of the human side of war – beyond battles fought and territories won or lost – it highlights the longing for connection, comfort, and reassurance that even soldiers need during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this artwork today, let us remember those brave men who fought for our nation's unity over a century ago. Let us honor their resilience and commitment while acknowledging that wars not only shape history but also profoundly impact individuals at a personal level.
