Atlanta, Georgia View on Whitehall Street

Atlanta, Georgia View on Whitehall Street

Above we show a vital photo of Atlanta, Georgia View on Whitehall Street. It was made in 1864 by Barnard, George N., 1819-1902.

The illustration documents 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 compiled this collection of artwork mainly to serve as a vital educational resource. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
