EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print captures the intensity of hand-to-hand combat during the Battle of the Wilderness in Virginia, 1864. Known as the Bloody Angle, this particular moment showcases fierce fighting between American soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. The image portrays an American officer engaged in a life-or-death struggle with his Confederate counterpart. The vintage illustration transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene that is both traditional and historic. The soldier's rifle and bayonet are prominently featured, highlighting their importance in close-quarters combat. Amidst the chaos, we catch a glimpse of the iconic American flag proudly waving amidst smoke-filled air. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of America's turbulent past and its enduring heritage. It symbolizes not only the rebellion against authority but also represents two opposing forces locked in battle for control over their respective ideals. The Battle of Wilderness holds significant historical value as it marked one of many pivotal moments during the Civil War. This print allows us to appreciate and reflect upon those who fought bravely on both sides while acknowledging our nation's complex history. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we are transported to an era long gone but forever etched into our collective memory—a testament to sacrifice, valor, and resilience displayed by those who fought for what they believed was right.
