EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Colonel Robert O. Tyler and the 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery at Fort Richardson in late 1861. The misty, overcast day adds an air of mystery to the scene as the bearded colonel stands proudly with his artillerymen. Despite officially being listed as the 4th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry Regiment at this time, they would later become known as the esteemed 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery on January 2,1862. The fort itself is a sight to behold, with its earthen field-fortification boasting mounted guns on both garrison carriages and front-pintle barbette carriages. These impressive weapons include powerful 24-pounder guns that were essential for defending against enemy attacks during this tumultuous period in American history. The print has been meticulously enhanced by combining its original stereographic pair of wet-collodion glass negatives into a single modern photograph. Additionally, it has undergone thorough cleaning and repairs to ensure its preservation for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a testament to the bravery and dedication of Colonel Tyler and his men who served their country during one of its most challenging eras.
