EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving showcases General Meade, a distinguished career United States Army officer and civil engineer. Known for his involvement in coastal construction projects, including the creation of several lighthouses, Meade's contributions to infrastructure development were remarkable. His military prowess was equally impressive, as he fought with distinction in both the Second Seminole War and Mexican-American War. However, it was during the American Civil War that General Meade truly made his mark. Serving as a Union general, he rose through the ranks from commanding a brigade to leading the renowned Army of the Potomac. It was under his leadership that Confederate General Robert E. Lee suffered defeat at the historic Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. This engraved image captures Meade's stoic presence and portrays him as a symbol of strength and determination amidst one of America's most challenging periods. The Victorian-style illustration technique adds an air of nostalgia to this vintage print, evoking a sense of history and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this piece from Liszt Collection's archives, we are reminded not only of General Meade's pivotal role in shaping our nation but also how art can beautifully preserve moments from our past.
