EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Atlanta in ruins, November 1864" offers a haunting glimpse into the aftermath of one of the most significant events during the American Civil War. Created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century and now housed in a private collection, this print showcases the devastation that befell Atlanta after its capture by Union forces. The image depicts a desolate cityscape with crumbling buildings, charred remains, and smoke billowing into the sky. The once-thriving metropolis is reduced to rubble, symbolizing both physical destruction and shattered hopes for those who called Atlanta home. Originally featured as an illustration in Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War published by McDonnell Bros in 1886, this digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by the artist's hand. Through this artwork, we are transported back to that fateful November in 1864 when Atlanta fell under Union control. It serves as a poignant reminder of the immense human cost and widespread devastation caused by war. This engraving stands as a testament to our collective history and invites contemplation on themes such as resilience, loss, and rebuilding. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artifact through Fine Art Finder so that future generations can bear witness to Atlanta's tragic past while also acknowledging its enduring spirit.
