EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a Union picket line standing defiantly in front of the formidable rebel Fort Mahone, aptly nicknamed "Fort Damnation" by the brave soldiers who fought for their cause. The location is none other than Richmond, Virginia, a city steeped in Confederate pride. The composition of this albumen silver print captures both the determination etched on the faces of these Union soldiers and the imposing presence of Fort Mahone looming behind them. It serves as a poignant reminder of the intense struggle that unfolded during this tumultuous period. Edward and Henry T. Anthony & Co. , an esteemed American photography firm known for their exceptional work, expertly captured this scene around 1865 - just as victory was within reach for Union forces. Their attention to detail and ability to convey emotion through imagery shines through in every aspect of this photograph. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when divisions ran deep and battles were fought with unwavering resolve. This print stands as a testament to those who sacrificed everything for their beliefs and reminds us all of our shared past that continues to shape our present-day society.
