EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic St. Peters Church near the White House, where George Washington himself was married. The image showcases General E. V. Sumner and his staff during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. Previously attributed to Mathew B. Brady, this albumen silver print holds immense historical significance. The elderly man in the photograph is none other than General Edwin Vose Sumner, a prominent figure of that era. Standing outside the church's majestic exterior, surrounded by fellow officers and soldiers, he exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Alexander Gardner skillfully captured this moment in time, showcasing not only a military scene but also highlighting the importance of religion and Christianity within American society during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from the 19th century at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to a time when our country was divided yet united under one faith. It serves as a reminder of our heritage and how far we have come as a nation. This print offers us a glimpse into history – an invaluable record of significant events that shaped our country's past. It stands as a testament to both Alexander Gardner's artistic talent and his dedication to preserving moments that define who we are today.
