The Union is dissolved! (Charleston Mercury, Extra Ed. ), 20th December 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithographic print that captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image depicts a broadside poster announcing the dissolution of the Union, marking the beginning of the secession movement and ultimately leading to the American Civil War. Measuring 56x32 cm, this historical document holds immense significance as it represents a turning point in the nation's government and military history. Created by an anonymous American School artist from the 19th century, this print now resides in the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York, USA. The visual impact of this litho cannot be overstated. It showcases intricate engravings and meticulous attention to detail that draw viewers into its narrative. The bold proclamation "The Union is dissolved!" dominates the composition, leaving no room for doubt about its message. This artwork serves as both a testament to rebellion and a reflection of political unrest during this tumultuous period. It stands as evidence of how deeply divided America was at that time, with Confederate states asserting their independence from what was once considered one united nation. As we gaze upon this historic artifact today, we are reminded of our country's resilience and ability to overcome even its most challenging moments. This print serves as an enduring reminder of our shared past while also urging us to learn from it so that we may build a more united future for all Americans.
