EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and historically significant print captures the intense bombardment of Fredericksburg, Virginia by Federal troops under the command of General Burnside during the Civil War in December 1862. Despite their efforts, it is predicted that Lee's forces will ultimately emerge victorious in this pivotal battle.
The image showcases the chaotic and destructive nature of war, with smoke billowing from explosions as troops on both sides engage in fierce combat across the Rappahannock River. The incompetence of General Burnside is evident as he leads his men into a brutal and bloody conflict against formidable opposition.
As we reflect on this momentous event in American history, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their beliefs during a tumultuous time. The bravery and determination displayed by both Union and Confederate soldiers serve as a testament to the resilience and fortitude of those who lived through this turbulent period.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this dramatic scene, allowing us to glimpse into a crucial chapter of our nation's past. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and honors those who participated in these historic events.
