EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken in 1865 at City Point, Virginia, it features Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, alongside his wife Julia Grant and their son Jesse Grant. The sepia-toned print, created in the 1940s by an anonymous American photographer from the original negative discovered by Meserve in the late 19th century, showcases a family portrait that exudes both strength and tenderness. In this image, Ulysses S. Grant sits confidently on a chair while Julia stands beside him with young Jesse seated on her lap. The composition is framed by a doorway which adds depth to the scene. Their expressions reveal pride and love as they gaze directly into the camera lens. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of familial bonds amidst turbulent times. It serves as a reminder that even during periods of great upheaval such as the American Civil War, families remain steadfast pillars of support for one another. Preserved within the Gilder Lehrman Collection at New York's eGilder Lehrman Institute of American History, this mesmerizing image continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and emotional resonance.
