EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Struggle on a bridge during the retreat from Manassas, Virginia" transports us back to the turbulent times of the American Civil War. Created by artist Felix Octavius Carr Darley and engraved for volume I of The War with the South: a History of the Late Rebellion, this image captures a pivotal moment in history. The scene depicts soldiers engaged in fierce battle on a bridge as they desperately retreat from Manassas. The Battles of Bull Run, also known as the First and Second Battles of Manassas, were fought in 1861 and 1862 respectively. Both battles resulted in Confederate victories, further intensifying the struggle between Union and Confederate forces. Amidst this chaotic backdrop, horses gallop across the bridge while soldiers fight valiantly or flee for their lives. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of solemnity to this historical event that shaped America's destiny. Darley's intricate detailing brings life to each soldier's expression and every horse's movement. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes emotions tied to war - bravery, fear, determination - reminding us of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry by Felix Octavius Carr Darley, we are transported back to one of America's darkest chapters – where bridges became battlegrounds and struggles unfolded amidst retreating armies.
