EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print from the Liszt Collection captures the solemn face of H. L. Lanning, a Civil War victim who served in the 86th New York regiment. Taken around 1864 by renowned American photographer William H. Bell, this albumen silver print showcases both the artistry and historical significance of early photography. Lanning's eyes reflect a mixture of determination and weariness, evidence of the toll that war had taken on his young life. His uniform bears the insignia of his regiment, proudly displaying his dedication to preserving unity during one of America's darkest periods. The composition skillfully highlights Lanning's facial features while maintaining an air of simplicity and authenticity. The soft tones and delicate details captured through albumen printing techniques add depth to this haunting image. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Lanning's sacrifice but also those countless others who fought bravely for their beliefs during the Civil War. It serves as a powerful reminder that behind every name listed in history books lies an individual with dreams, fears, and aspirations. Through this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we honor H. L. Lanning's memory as well as pay tribute to all those who endured unimaginable hardships during this pivotal moment in our nation's history.
