EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bull Run. Orange and Alexandria R. R. near Union Mills, 1861-65" takes us back to the American Civil War era. Formerly attributed to Mathew B. Brady but now credited to Tim O'Sullivan and George N. Barnard, this 19th-century albumen silver print captures a significant moment in history. In the image, we see a group of hardworking railway workers repairing the damaged tracks of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad near Union Mills. The men are dressed in their laborer attire, showcasing their dedication to their job amidst the chaos of war. The photograph not only documents the physical damage caused by sabotage during this tumultuous time but also highlights the resilience and determination of those involved in keeping vital transportation routes operational. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this image transports us back in time, allowing us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes during wartime. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece by Tim O'Sullivan and George N. Barnard is a testament to their skill as photographers capturing both historical events and everyday life during one of America's most challenging periods.
