EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1860, offering a glimpse into the historical significance of Fort Pickens on the harbor of Pensacola, Florida. The engraving by Currier & Ives beautifully captures the exterior of this formidable fortification that played a crucial role during the American Civil War. Standing proudly against the backdrop of an expansive sky, Fort Pickens symbolizes strength and resilience. Its flag flutters in the breeze, representing unity and patriotism as it flies high above this strategic military outpost. The lithograph transports us to a time when tensions were mounting between Union and Confederate forces. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to imagine soldiers patrolling these grounds or cannons being readied for battle. Fort Pickens served as a vital stronghold for the Union Army throughout the war, safeguarding Pensacola's harbor from potential Confederate attacks. This photograph allows us to appreciate its architectural grandeur while also reminding us of its critical role in preserving national unity during such tumultuous times. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection with great pride. It serves as a testament to our nation's history and reminds us of those who fought valiantly for what they believed in.
