EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Surveying" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of military tactics. The print showcases an American soldier diligently engaged in surveying activities, highlighting the importance of accurate measurements and strategic planning in warfare. The soldier stands tall, his eyes fixed on a distant point as he holds a cross-like instrument with wires stretched across it. This device, known as a transit instrument, enables him to precisely measure angles and distances. In his other hand rests a telescope, symbolizing the soldier's keen observation skills necessary for successful military operations. Surrounded by various tools of his trade - including a plain compass and other armaments - this image encapsulates both the precision required for surveying and the potential dangers faced by soldiers on duty. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane tasks like mapping terrain play an integral role in shaping battle strategies. Created by Edwards Farrow for Farrows Military Encyclopedia in 1885, this engraving offers historical insight into military training at West Point Academy during that era. With its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this print from Bridgeman Images is not only visually stunning but also provides valuable context about weaponry used by infantry forces. Whether you are fascinated by history or simply appreciate fine art prints that tell stories from our past, "Surveying" is sure to captivate your imagination with its blend of technical expertise and artistic finesse.
