EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the SANITARY FAIR held in Brooklyn, New York in 1864. Organized to support the Sanitary Commission during the Civil War, this event was a remarkable display of unity and compassion. The engraving from Harper's Weekly, dated March 5th, 1864, showcases an interior tableau at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In this mid-19th century snapshot, we witness a bustling scene filled with patriotic fervor. The American flag proudly waves above as volunteers tirelessly work towards raising funds for relief efforts. The armory is transformed into a vibrant fairground where entertainment and fundraising seamlessly intertwine. The image not only highlights the importance of supporting troops on the front lines but also sheds light on how communities came together during times of crisis. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and turmoil, humanity prevails. The Granger Collection has beautifully captured this historical moment through their lens, allowing us to glimpse into an era defined by resilience and solidarity. As we admire this print today, it is essential to remember those who selflessly dedicated themselves to aid others during one of America's darkest periods - truly embodying what it means to be united under one cause.
