EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1888 colour lithograph, titled "Battle of Fredericksburg" takes us back to the intense and pivotal moments of the American Civil War. The print showcases a scene from December 13th, 1862, during the infamous Battle of Fredericksburg. In this historic image, we witness two mighty forces clashing on opposite sides of a river. On one side stands General Ambrose E. Burnside with his Union troops, while on the other side looms General Robert E. Lee leading his Confederate soldiers. The tension in the air is palpable as explosions rock the battlefield and smoke billows into the sky. The focus of this artwork lies in depicting an essential aspect of warfare – river crossing under fire. We see soldiers braving treacherous waters aboard punts and horses as they make their way towards enemy lines along the Rappahannock River. The riverbank becomes a battleground where lives are lost and destinies are shaped. This print not only captures a significant moment in history but also serves as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice during times of war. It reminds us that conflicts like these shape nations and leave lasting imprints on our collective memory. Preserved within private collections today, this masterpiece by Kurz & Allen continues to serve as an invaluable window into America's past - reminding us never to forget those who fought bravely for their beliefs amidst chaos and destruction.
