EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Major-General Ambrose E. Burnside, a prominent figure in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Created by G Stodart, this artwork showcases Burnside's commanding presence and distinctive facial hair that gave rise to the term "sideburns". Burnside played a significant role as commander of the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Fredericksburg, an infamous clash with General Robert E Lee's forces. Unfortunately, this battle resulted in heavy casualties for Burnside's troops, with over 12,000 lives lost. The engraving is taken from volume II of The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion by Robert Tomes and Benjamin G Smith. It provides a glimpse into one of history's most turbulent periods – capturing not only Burnside but also symbolizing the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by countless soldiers during this era. In this black-and-white portrait, we see a man who embodies strength and determination. His military uniform adds to his authoritative aura while his bearded face reflects wisdom earned through experience on the battlefield. As we reflect upon this image, it serves as a reminder of both individual heroism and collective struggle that defined America during its darkest hour. Major-General Ambrose E. Burnside remains forever etched in history as an emblematic figure from one of our nation’s most pivotal conflicts - an enduring symbol representing courage amidst adversity.
