EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph "MONITOR VS MERRIMACK, 1862" by Kurz & Allison captures the intense battle between two ironclad warships during the American Civil War. The print, created in 1889, depicts the historic clash that took place on March 9th, 1862, at Hampton Roads in southeastern Virginia. In this dramatic scene, the USS Monitor and the CSS Merrimack (formerly known as USS Merrimack) engage in a fierce naval combat. The Union's Monitor is shown as a formidable iron vessel with its iconic rotating turret housing powerful cannons. On the other hand, the Confederate's Merrimack appears menacing with its sloping armor and heavy artillery. This lithograph showcases not only the technological advancements of warfare but also highlights how pivotal this battle was for both sides. It marked one of history's first encounters between ironclads and revolutionized naval warfare forever. The Battle between Monitor and Merrimack had significant implications for maritime strategy during the Civil War. This image serves as a reminder of America's past conflicts while honoring those who fought bravely on both sides. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this historical print allows us to relive an important moment in our nation's history through art.
