EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of the "Death of General Lyon" during the Battle of Wilsons Creek, Missouri on 10 August 1861. The artist, V Balch, skillfully portrays this significant event from the American Civil War that took place in the 19th century. General Nathaniel Lyon, a prominent Union commander, led his troops against a larger Confederate army at Wilsons Creek. Sadly, he became the first Union general to lose his life in combat during this brutal war. The image showcases Lyon's bravery and sacrifice as he valiantly fought for his country. The engraving is taken from volume I of "The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion" written by Robert Tomes and Benjamin G Smith. It provides a historical account of this crucial battle that shaped America's future. In this powerful artwork, we see Lyon atop his horse amidst chaos and gunfire on the battlefield. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to every detail captured by V Balch's skilled hand. This print serves as a poignant reminder of those who bravely fought and lost their lives during one of America's darkest periods. It pays tribute not only to General Nathaniel Lyon but also to all soldiers who sacrificed everything for their beliefs in that tumultuous era known as the American Civil War.
