EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHARLESTON: MARKET, 1866" takes us back in time to the bustling City Market in Charleston, South Carolina. Depicted shortly after the fall of the Confederacy, this wood engraving from an American newspaper of 1866 offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history. The scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily routines. A horse-drawn cart filled with goods stands at the center of attention, symbolizing transportation and commerce during that era. A loyal dog faithfully accompanies its owner nearby, adding a touch of companionship amidst the busy market atmosphere. Notably, African Americans can be seen engaged in various tasks throughout the marketplace. Their presence serves as a reminder of their resilience and contribution to society despite facing immense challenges during this tumultuous period. Intriguingly perched atop one of the buildings overlooking the market is a vulture - perhaps an unintentional observer or simply seeking refuge. This unexpected detail adds an element of mystery and symbolism to the composition. Overall, this historical snapshot transports us back to mid-19th century Charleston - a city rebuilding itself after significant upheaval. The Granger Collection's exquisite print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to evoke emotions tied to our collective pasts.
