EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CIVIL WAR: BLOCKADE, 1864" takes us back to a crucial moment in history. The scene unfolds on board the Confederate blockade runner Lilian off the coast of North Carolina during the American Civil War. This wood engraving, originally published in an English newspaper in 1864, beautifully captures the intensity and maritime atmosphere of that era. The image showcases the exterior of the Lilian, with its crew members diligently manning their posts. The deck is bustling with activity as men navigate through various tasks amidst a backdrop of coastal ramparts. Standing at the helm is a steely-eyed sailor gripping onto the ship's steering wheel, guiding them through treacherous waters. The flag proudly waves atop this vessel symbolizing loyalty to their cause - a poignant reminder of how deeply divided America was during this tumultuous period. Binoculars are held by some crew members as they keep watch for any signs of danger or approaching ships from both sides. This artwork transports us into a pivotal moment where tensions ran high and every decision made could alter history's course. It serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's past struggles and sacrifices endured during one of its darkest chapters – an evocative tribute to those who fought bravely on both sides.
