EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "CIVIL WAR: BLACK TROOPS. The Recruit" takes us back to a significant era in American history. Created through a wood engraving technique in 1867, this artwork is based on an original painting by Thomas Waterman Wood, a renowned artist of the time. In this powerful depiction, we witness a young African American man standing proudly as he joins the Union Army during the Civil War. Dressed in his uniform and holding a rifle with bayonet attached, he exudes determination and bravery. His beard adds maturity to his youthful face, symbolizing strength and resilience. This image represents more than just one individual's enlistment; it signifies the courage of countless African Americans who fought for their freedom and equality during this tumultuous period. These troops were known as "Yankee" soldiers within the Union Army. Through its meticulous details and lifelike portrayal, this wood engraving transports us back to mid-19th century America. It serves as a reminder of both the struggles faced by African Americans at that time and their unwavering commitment to fight for justice. As we reflect upon our nation's past, let us honor these brave men who played an integral role in shaping our future. This remarkable piece of art invites us to appreciate their sacrifices while acknowledging how far we have come on our journey towards equality.
