Slaughter Pen, Foot of Round Top, Gettysburg, July 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a hauntingly powerful photograph captured by Alexander Gardner during the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg. This albumen print, pl. 44 from Gardner's renowned "Photographic Sketch Book of the War" serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating toll that war takes on humanity. In this image, we witness a somber scene at the foot of Little Round Top in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The rocky terrain is littered with fallen soldiers' bodies, starkly illustrating the grim reality and tragic loss experienced during one of America's bloodiest conflicts - the American Civil War. Gardner's composition skillfully captures both the geographical features and emotional weight within this historical landscape. The rugged hills and rocks provide an eerie backdrop to this solemn burial ground. Each lifeless body represents an individual sacrifice made for their country amidst unimaginable chaos. As viewers engage with this artwork at Chicago's Art Institute gallery or art center, they are transported back to a pivotal moment in American history. Through Gardner's lens, we are compelled to reflect upon not only the physical devastation but also contemplate broader concepts such as honor, duty, and ultimately death itself. This nineteenth-century albumen silver print stands as a testament to Alexander Gardner's mastery in capturing profound moments frozen in time through his photography. It invites us to remember those who fought bravely on these hallowed grounds while urging us never to forget the cost paid for our nation's freedom.
