Synopsis
“These photos are no longer just dusty old pictures, but rather have become very real moments in time from our collective past, frozen forever in color.”—John C. Guntzelman
The Civil War comes alive as never before in this extraordinary collection of colorized photographs from the era. Not only does it feature portraits of famous leaders and ordinary soldiers but also vignettes of American life during the conflict: scenes from urban and plantation life; destroyed cities; contested battlefields. The 200+ photographs, from the Library of Congress's archives, include both well-known and rarely seen images. Also inside—a fine art ready-to-frame photographic print of a stunning colorized Civil War photograph.
