EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Nast, titled "Christmas Eve, 1862" offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of soldiers and their loved ones during one of America's darkest periods. Created for Harper's Weekly on January 3,1863, this engraving captures the essence of Christmas in a war-torn country. In this scene, we witness a husband and wife separated by the horrors of war. The man stands tall in his Union Army uniform while his wife kneels beside him in prayer. Both faces are etched with worry and longing as they seek solace amidst the chaos. Behind them waves an American flag proudly representing their shared commitment to their country. Nast skillfully portrays not only the religious significance of Christmas but also its power to unite people across divides. The image is filled with symbols that evoke hope - from flickering candles illuminating their faces to a banner bearing words like faith and love hanging above them. As we gaze upon this historic artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art or any other esteemed museum where it resides today, let us remember those who sacrificed everything for our freedom during that tumultuous time. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of strife, humanity can find strength through faith and love for one another.
