EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history - the Band of the 107th U. S. Colored Infantry during the Civil War in 1865. Taken by renowned photographer William Morris Smith at Fort Corcoran, near Arlington, Virginia, this image showcases a group of African American musicians proudly displaying their musical talents. The band members are dressed in their Union Army uniforms, standing outside a building in the mid-November weather. The sepia-toned print adds an air of authenticity and nostalgia to this powerful snapshot from the past. Each musician holds his instrument with pride and skill. From trumpets and saxhorns to tubas and brass instruments, they create harmonious melodies that uplifted spirits amidst the chaos of war. Their forage caps add a touch of military discipline to their appearance. These men were part of an important movement towards equality as they served alongside white soldiers in defense of their country's freedom. Their contribution as musicians not only entertained troops but also provided solace during challenging times on the battlefield. Granger Art on Demand presents this print as a testament to these brave individuals who fought for justice and unity during one of America's darkest periods. It serves as a reminder that music has always had the power to bridge divides and bring people together regardless of race or background.
