Capture of the Gun, Lady Breckinridge, 1889 - A Glimpse into America's Civil War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This albumen print, captured by renowned photographer Henry Hamilton Bennett in 1889, transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the Battle of Missionary Ridge during the Civil War. The photograph is part of Bennett's esteemed series "Kansas City Panorama" which beautifully documents significant events and landscapes of that era. In this particular image, we witness the intense aftermath of battle as Union soldiers triumphantly capture the formidable 12-pounder Napoleon cannon known as Lady Breckinridge. The black and white composition adds a sense of gravity to the scene, emphasizing both the destructive power and historical significance of this weapon. Bennett's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to convey emotion through his art. Through this stereoscopic photograph, viewers can almost feel themselves standing on that battlefield - hearing echoes from cannons firing and witnessing firsthand the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought for their country. The Art Institute Chicago proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection. As we gaze upon it today, let us remember those who came before us - their struggles, victories, and unwavering spirit that shaped our nation. This albumen silver print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared heritage; an enduring testament to America's resilience during one of its most challenging times.
