EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "An Army Forge, 1876" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by Edwin Austin Forbes, a member of the French Etching Club and an eyewitness to the events depicted, this print offers a glimpse into daily life during the American Civil War. The scene unfolds on a rural roadside where two cavalrymen have just returned from scouting. Their horses stand patiently as they are being shod by a skilled blacksmith at an army forge. The meticulous details bring this historical moment to life, showcasing the union between man and animal in times of war. Forbes traveled with the Union Army from 1862-1865, documenting his experiences through art. This particular etching is marked as Plate 14 in his collection and measures approximately 47.9x60.5 cm. As we observe this print, we are transported to North America during one of its most tumultuous periods. The countryside setting adds depth to our understanding of how mobile armies operated during that time. Through Bridgeman Images' reproduction of this artwork from the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City, we can appreciate not only Forbes' artistic talent but also gain insight into the lives of soldiers who fought for their beliefs during the American Civil War.
