콜드하버 펍, 1864년 6월 3일
1864
Edwin Forbes captured this quiet moment at the Cold Harbor Tavern with his own handwriting dating it to June 3, 1864—the very day of a disastrous Union assault during the American Civil War. The sketch shows soldiers marching and wagons rolling past a rustic wooden building, depicting the mundane reality of army life just hours before a massive slaughter. Forbes was an artist-correspondent who famously sketched 'life studies' on the front lines, prioritizing the gritty truth of the soldier's experience over glorified battle scenes.
