EDITORS COMMENTS
CIVIL WAR: BRIDGE, 1862. A testament to Union engineering prowess and the harsh realities of war, this print captures a view of a wooden bridge built by Union engineers under the command of General McDowell during the American Civil War. Taken in August 1862 by renowned photographer Timothy H. O Sullivan, this image showcases the strategic importance of bridges in facilitating troop movements and supply lines. Set against the backdrop of Bull Run, Virginia, the photograph offers a glimpse into the challenging terrain faced by soldiers on both sides of the conflict. The photographers' wagon can be seen on the left side, serving as a reminder of O Sullivan's dedication to documenting history amidst danger. The bridge itself stands as an impressive feat of engineering amidst nature's beauty – its sturdy construction contrasting with surrounding trees that bear witness to past battles fought nearby. This stereograph not only provides insight into military strategy but also serves as a poignant reminder of human ingenuity and sacrifice during one of America's darkest periods. Preserved through time by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, this historic print invites viewers to reflect upon our nation's past while appreciating those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes to shape it.
