EDITORS COMMENTS
In this albumen silver print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a significant period in American history. The photograph features Capt. M. V. Bates Martin Van Buren Bates and W. L. Germon, two prominent figures of their time. Capt. M. V. Bates was not only known for his military service but also for his remarkable height, standing at an impressive 7 feet 11 inches tall - making him one of the tallest men in recorded history. His towering presence is evident as he stands beside W. L. Germon, who appears comparatively shorter. The image captures these two individuals during the years 1861-1865, a tumultuous era marked by the American Civil War that deeply divided the nation. Their serious expressions hint at the gravity of those times and perhaps reflect their own personal experiences during this conflict. The albumen silver print technique used here adds depth and richness to every detail captured on film, enhancing our ability to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic quality of this piece. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded of how visual artifacts like these provide us with invaluable glimpses into our past – allowing us to connect with those who came before us and gain a deeper understanding of our shared heritage.
