EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in American history - the Farewell Address of General Robert E. Lee. Published by Burk and McFetridge in 1883, this print measures 51.3x38.2 cm and is now part of a private collection. General Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general during the US Civil War, is depicted here at the end of his military career. The image showcases Lee's portrait alongside elements that symbolize both victory and defeat - soldiers, cannons, and a cartouche. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 10th, 1865 marked the conclusion of one of America's bloodiest conflicts - the Civil War. This farewell address represents not only an end to hostilities but also signifies a turning point in American history. The composition exudes solemnity as it immortalizes this pivotal moment when Lee bid farewell to his troops after years of fighting for what he believed in. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides and their collective journey towards reconciliation. As we gaze upon this historic photograph print today, we are transported back to that era where divisions were healed through dialogue and understanding – reminding us that even amidst conflict there can be hope for unity.
