American Civil Currier Family Farewell Ives Leaving Lithograph Northern Soldier Unionist Bidding

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant lithograph by Currier & Ives, we witness a heartfelt scene that encapsulates the emotional toll of the American Civil War. A Unionist soldier, adorned in his military regalia, stands tall and resolute as he bids farewell to his beloved family before departing for battle. The composition beautifully captures the tender moment between husband and wife, father and children. The soldier's face reflects a mixture of determination and sorrow, knowing that he must leave behind everything he holds dear to fight for a cause greater than himself. His uniform proudly displays his allegiance to the Northern states, symbolizing his commitment to preserving the unity of America during this tumultuous period. Meanwhile, his family gathers around him with tearful eyes and somber expressions. The mother clings tightly to her husband's arm while their children cling onto their parents' legs - their innocence contrasting starkly with the gravity of war looming ahead. Currier & Ives masterfully convey both the personal sacrifice endured by soldiers leaving their families behind and the collective sacrifice made by countless individuals during this divisive era in American history. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how war can disrupt lives on an intimate level while also highlighting themes of patriotism, duty, love, and resilience. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to bear witness to one family's heart-wrenching farewell – forever frozen in artistry – reminding us never to forget those who fought valiant
