The Hour of Victory - 'Zouaves, remember Ellsworth!'
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in American history during the Civil War. Published by Currier & Ives in 1861, this color lithograph titled "The Hour of Victory: 'Zouaves, remember Ellsworth!'" is a powerful depiction of bravery and sacrifice. The image showcases an infantryman from the Union Army waving the Stars and Stripes flag with unwavering determination. His uniform, inspired by North African styles, marks him as part of the Zouave regiments raised for service in the war. The reference to Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth adds poignancy to the scene; he was one of the first casualties of this brutal conflict. Injured and wounded soldiers surround our central figure, highlighting both their courage and vulnerability. This visual reminder serves as government propaganda to rally support for the Union cause. The composition skillfully portrays not only military might but also emphasizes themes such as patriotism, resilience, and unity. The bayonet-tipped rifle held firmly by our protagonist symbolizes their readiness to defend their country at any cost. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection courtesy of American Antiquarian Society, we are reminded that victory often comes at great personal sacrifice. It is through honoring those who fought before us that we can truly understand and appreciate the freedoms we enjoy today.
