1861 Chimney Confederate Political Prison Rebel Union Union Army Washington 1st Street First Street

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turbulent times of the Civil War in Washington, D. C. The image showcases a political prison located on the corner of First Street and A Street, serving as a haunting reminder of the conflict that tore our nation apart. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1861, captures the essence of this historic moment with remarkable detail. The building stands tall and imposing, its chimney billowing smoke into the midday sky. It is evident that this structure was not just any ordinary prison; it held those deemed enemies of the Union Army during this tumultuous period. As we delve deeper into history through this image, we can imagine the stories hidden within these walls – rebels who fought for their cause or sympathizers who dared to challenge prevailing ideologies. This prison became a symbol of power and control over dissenting voices during one of America's darkest chapters. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with a window into our past through their extensive collection. With each glance at this powerful photograph, we are reminded not only of our nation's struggles but also how far we have come since those divisive days.
