EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical postcard from the American Civil War era, titled "We Stand by the Union". The postcard, dating back to 1861-65, showcases a color lithograph created by the American School in the 19th century. Measuring at 7.6x14 cm, it is now part of the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society in the USA. The image features portraits of Jesse B. Fremont and John C. Fremont, distinguished figures during this tumultuous period in American history. Positioned between them are crossed American flags symbolizing their unwavering support for preserving and standing by the Union. John Charles Fremont was not only a Union Major General but also served as Military Governor of California before being convicted of mutiny in court-martial. He later became a U. S Senator from California and went on to serve as Arizona's 5th Territorial Governor after the war. Jessie Ann Benton Fremont, his wife and trusted advisor on war-related matters, played an instrumental role alongside him throughout these turbulent times. Printed above their portraits is "J. M Whittemore & Co. , Boston" indicating that James M. Whittemore likely operated as its main proprietor during this period. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic representation and historical artifact that encapsulates America's struggle for unity during one of its most challenging periods - a testament to resilience and devotion to preserving what they believed in: The Union.
