EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the New York Draft Riots of 1863. In this powerful image, Mr. Andrews of Virginia stands on the roof of a butchers shop in Forty-Sixth Street, addressing an angry mob of rioters. The engraving from the New York Illustrated News provides a glimpse into the chaos and tension that engulfed Manhattan during this tumultuous time. As Mr. Andrews delivers his speech, his words hang heavy in the air, fueling the anger and frustration felt by those gathered below him. The crowd is diverse, with men and women united in their opposition to conscription during the Civil War. Their faces reflect determination and defiance as they listen intently to Mr. Andrews' impassioned words. The scene is set against a backdrop of an exterior street filled with chaos and unrest. The atmosphere is charged with tension as protestors express their discontent through acts of violence and rebellion. This engraving serves as a reminder of both the power of speech to incite action and the deep divisions that existed within American society at that time. It offers us a window into one chapter of our nation's history when civil unrest threatened to tear communities apart. Through this historical artifact, we are transported back to 1863 New York City - witnessing firsthand how ordinary citizens became caught up in extraordinary events that would shape our country's future forever.
