EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the solemnity and grief that enveloped Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day, 1868. Mourners from all walks of life have gathered at the Unknown Soldiers Monument to pay their respects to the fallen heroes of the Union Army. The graves of 2,111 soldiers, whose identities remain unknown, are marked with a sea of decorative bouquets and garlands. In this scene, we witness a diverse group of individuals united in their shared sorrow. Men donning somber attire stand alongside women dressed in mid-19th century fashion. A young boy clutches an American flag tightly as he pays his respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The monument itself stands tall and proud amidst the backdrop of Arlington's serene landscape. Its inscriptions serve as a reminder of the honor bestowed upon these brave soldiers who fought valiantly during the Civil War. This wood engraving beautifully captures this historic moment, transporting us back to that first nationwide observance of Memorial (Decoration) Day on May 30th, 1868. It serves as a timeless tribute not only to those buried beneath its tombstones but also to all who have given their lives in service to our nation. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this significant piece of American history for future generations so that we may never forget the sacrifices made by these courageous men and women.
