EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the Civil War. The image showcases the Ten Pounder Gun Battery, belonging to the Federalist forces, stationed at Budds Ferry on the Lower Potomac River. Across from them lie Confederate batteries on the Virginia shore, creating an intense and dramatic scene. The engraving, dating back to 1861, beautifully captures this historical event with its illustrative technique and Victorian charm. With a retro-styled touch, it transports us to a bygone era filled with turmoil and conflict. Intriguingly composed, we see various vessels dotting the river's surface - passenger boats, ferry boats, packet boats - all playing their part in this war-torn landscape. These ships serve as reminders of how transportation played a crucial role during wartime. The coastlines of Virginia are visible in the background; they stand as silent witnesses to this fierce battle between two factions fighting for control over these lands. As we gaze upon this vintage print today, let us reflect on our nation's past struggles and honor those who fought bravely during one of America's darkest periods. This engraving serves as both a reminder of our history and an artistic testament that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
