Home from the War, 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant lithograph by Currier and Ives that captures the essence of relief, joy, and love in a post-Civil War America. The print depicts a Union soldier returning safely to his home and family after years of fighting on the battlefield. Standing proudly in his military uniform, he embraces his wife and young son with open arms as they eagerly await his arrival. The scene is set against a backdrop of an idyllic countryside with a charming house surrounded by a picket fence. The vibrant colors, particularly the striking red dress worn by the woman, symbolize hope and new beginnings. It represents not only their personal reunion but also serves as a metaphor for the healing and reunification of our divided nation. In this heartwarming image, we witness the overwhelming happiness felt by all members of this reunited family – from the elation on the soldier's face to the sheer delight radiating from his wife and child. Their embrace speaks volumes about their deep love for one another and their shared sense of relief that he has returned unharmed. This lithograph beautifully encapsulates both individual joy and collective relief experienced during this transformative period in American history. It serves as a reminder of how precious peace can be after enduring such hardship. "Home from the War, 1865" stands as an enduring testament to resilience, sacrifice, and above all else - love triumphing over adversity.
