EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and action-packed lithograph titled "Com. Farraguts fleet, passing the forts on the Mississippi, April 24th 1862" captures a significant moment in American history during the Civil War. Published by Currier & Ives in 1862, this print showcases the daring assault on New Orleans led by Admiral David Glasgow Farragut. In this dramatic scene, we witness Farragut's fleet of Union Navy ships navigating through thick smoke and intense gunfire as they pass by Confederate forts along the Mississippi River. The USS Mississippi takes center stage as it destroys the rebel ram Manassas, exposing New Orleans to further attack. The chaos of battle is vividly depicted with explosions illuminating the night sky and flames engulfing enemy vessels. Paddle steamers and other boats can be seen maneuvering amidst cannon fire while Fort St. Philip and Fort Jackson loom ominously in the background. This artwork not only portrays a pivotal naval battle but also symbolizes America's struggle for unity during one of its darkest periods. It serves as a testament to both bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought for their respective causes. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this historic lithograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our nation's past while appreciating its artistic representation.
