EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and historic moment of the Bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 12th and 13th, 1861. The image, a colour lithograph created by an anonymous American artist from the 19th century, showcases the chaotic scene that marked the beginning of the American Civil War. In this dramatic composition, billowing smoke engulfs the sky as cannons roar and cannonballs fly through the air. The Union forces fiercely defend their stronghold against relentless Confederate gunfire. This pivotal event would forever shape the course of American history. The photograph is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, showcasing its historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of the violence and turmoil that plagued North America during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when our nation was divided by ideology and torn apart by conflict. It stands as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice while also reminding us of how far we have come since those dark days. This print not only captures an important moment in history but also serves as a powerful symbol for unity and progress in modern-day America.
