EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CIVIL WAR: SIGNAL CORPS" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases Signal Corps men gathered outside the Central Signal Station, located at the iconic Winder Building on 17th and E Streets in Washington, D. C. It was captured by the talented photographer William Morris Smith in 1865. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of Union soldiers dressed uniformly in their military attire. Standing proudly amidst the bustling streets of mid-19th century Washington, these brave men were responsible for communication during one of America's darkest periods – the Civil War. The photograph beautifully captures both the architectural grandeur of the Winder Building and an imposing tower that served as a crucial signal point for transmitting messages across great distances. These dedicated soldiers formed part of the Union Army's Signal Corps, utilizing flags or torches to relay vital information between troops stationed throughout different regions. As we delve into this historical piece, it serves as a poignant reminder of how communication played an essential role during times of conflict. This image encapsulates not only their commitment but also highlights their unwavering determination to ensure effective coordination among troops fighting for unity and freedom. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print from The Granger Collection – allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon our nation's past struggles while honoring those who selflessly fought for its future.
