Photographers Battlefield

Atlanta, Georgia Chevaux-de-frise on Marietta Street; photographic wagons and darkroom beyond

 

Here for your consideration is an artistic picture of Atlanta, Georgia Chevaux-de-frise on Marietta Street; photographic wagons and darkroom beyond. It was created in 1864 by Barnard, George N., 1819-1902.

The picture presents Photograph of the War in the West. These photographs are of Sherman in Atlanta, September-November, 1864. After three and a half months of incessant maneuvering and much hard fighting, Sherman forced Hood to abandon the munitions center of the Confederacy. Sherman remained there, resting his war-worn men and accumulating supplies, for nearly two and a half months. During the occupation, George N. Barnard, official photographer of the Chief Engineer's Office, made the best documentary record of the war in the West; but much of what he photographed was destroyed in the fire that spread from the military facilities blown up at Sherman's departure on November 15.

We have created this collection of illustrations primarily to serve as a valuable educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
