EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph captures the essence of a momentous event in American history - the Great Naval Victory in Mobile Bay on August 5th, 1864. Published by Currier & Ives in the same year, this print showcases the remarkable artistic talent of the American School from the 19th century. In this scene, we witness Rear Admiral David G Farragut leading his Union Navy fleet against Confederate forces commanded by Admiral Franklin Buchanan. The battle takes place amidst billowing smoke and turbulent waters as ironclad monitors and gunboats clash fiercely. The image portrays both the might and determination of these naval forces as they engage in a life-or-death struggle for control over Mobile Bay. The imposing presence of Fort Morgan looms large in the background, serving as a formidable obstacle to Farragut's advancement. This historic victory marked a turning point in the American Civil War, securing Union control over one of the Confederacy's vital ports along the Gulf of Mexico. It symbolizes not only military triumph but also represents unity and resilience during one of America's darkest periods. Preserved within a private collection, this color lithograph serves as an invaluable testament to our nation's past. Its intricate details and vivid hues transport viewers back to that fateful day when bravery clashed with adversity on Mobile Bay's treacherous waters.
