Iniziare l'azione. by Edwin Forbes, 1876

Edwin Forbes captured the chaotic urgency of the American Civil War in this dynamic scene, showing a Union artillery battery racing toward the front lines. Horses strain against their harnesses, kicking up dust as they pull heavy cannons through the smoke-filled battlefield, while soldiers scramble to keep up. Forbes, who served as a special artist for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, sketched these scenes right on the battlefield, giving his work a gritty, firsthand authenticity that early war photography couldn't quite capture.
