EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Union army encampment during the Civil War. Taken by James Gibson in May 1862, it showcases the camp situated on the picturesque banks of the Pamunkey River in Cumberland Landing, Virginia. The image offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these brave men who fought for their beliefs. In this stereograph, we see troops resting and seeking solace from their arduous duties. Rear view shots depict soldiers seated outside their tents, taking a moment to relax and recharge amidst the chaos that surrounds them. The tranquility of the river serves as a stark contrast to the turmoil they face on a regular basis. The composition beautifully captures both individual moments and collective unity within this encampment. Each soldier represents an important piece in this intricate puzzle called war, with each one playing his part diligently. As we observe this photograph today, it is impossible not to feel awe-inspired by these courageous individuals who sacrificed so much for their cause. Their determination and resilience shine through even in moments of respite. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another remarkable historical artifact that allows us to connect with our past. This print serves as a reminder of those who came before us and laid down their lives for freedom and justice—a testament to human strength in times of adversity.
