EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "City Point, Virginia. Terminus of U. S. Military Railroad, 1861-65" captures the essence of a significant historical era - the American Civil War. Taken by renowned photographer Andrew Joseph Russell in the 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases the bustling terminus of the U. S. Military Railroad. The image transports us back in time to City Point, Virginia, where we witness a scene filled with activity and movement. The railway tracks stretch into the distance as boxcars and freight wagons line up in an organized fashion at the goods yard. The buildings surrounding them stand tall against a backdrop of natural beauty provided by James River. Amongst all this commotion stands Captain A. J. Russell himself - a man who played a vital role in documenting this crucial period in American history through his lens. His presence adds depth to this remarkable snapshot that now resides within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our country's past struggles and triumphs during one of its darkest times. It allows us to reflect on how far we have come since then while honoring those who fought for their beliefs on both sides.
