EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a dark and tumultuous moment in American history - the anti-draft riots in New York during the Civil War. The destruction of the coloured orphan asylum serves as a stark reminder of the violence and chaos that engulfed the city during this time.
The riots, which caused at least 120 deaths and $2 million worth of damage, were eventually quelled by returning soldiers from the Battle of Gettysburg. Their presence was crucial in putting down the disturbances and restoring order to a city torn apart by civil unrest.
This image is an important historical artifact, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of America's past. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and hardships endured during one of the most turbulent periods in our nation's history.
As we reflect on this photograph, we are reminded of the resilience and strength displayed by those who lived through these challenging times. It is a testament to their courage and determination in overcoming adversity, even in the face of such destructive events.
In preserving moments like these, we honor not only those who suffered but also those who fought for justice and equality amidst turmoil. This print stands as an enduring symbol of perseverance and hope in times of darkness.
