EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the USS Monitor engaging in a fierce battle against the CSS Merrimack during the Battle of Hampton Roads. Taking place on March 9th, 1862, this naval clash marked a significant turning point in American Civil War history. The color litho depicts two ironclad warships locked in combat, emitting billows of gunsmoke and showcasing the intensity of warfare. Known as the Battle of the Monitor and the Merrimack, this engagement was renowned for being one of the first encounters between powered iron-covered vessels. The USS Monitor represented Union forces while its adversary, formerly known as CSS Virginia (Merrimack), symbolized Confederate strength. This image immortalizes their confrontation forever etched into naval lore. The composition beautifully portrays these mighty warships amidst a backdrop filled with tension and conflict. With cannons firing and smoke engulfing both vessels, it is evident that neither side would yield easily. This photograph serves as a testament to bravery and resilience exhibited by sailors from both factions during this pivotal moment in North American history. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Peter Newark Military Pictures collection, this remarkable print allows viewers to witness firsthand an iconic chapter from America's past – where steel clashed against steel on treacherous waters – forever shaping naval warfare strategies for generations to come.
