EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the infamous Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, a pivotal moment in American history. Taken from a book published in 1896, this engraving by Alfred Rudolph Waud depicts the brutal clash between Confederate and Union forces on July 3,1862. Pickett's Charge was an ill-fated assault led by Confederate General George Pickett during the Battle of Gettysburg. The charge aimed to break through Union positions on Cemetery Ridge but ultimately resulted in heavy casualties for the Confederacy. This engraving, skillfully executed by Swinton, vividly portrays the chaos and violence that unfolded during this bloody confrontation. The image showcases soldiers locked in fierce combat, with cannons firing and sabers clashing amidst clouds of smoke. It serves as a haunting reminder of the sacrifices made by both sides during one of America's most significant battles. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into the intensity and futility experienced by those who fought on that fateful day. As we observe these brave men confronting each other with unwavering determination, we are reminded of their courage and resilience amid unimaginable horrors. This powerful image from Bridgeman Images not only commemorates an important chapter in American history but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact of war and conflict throughout human civilization.
