EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Thanksgiving Day Army Dinner Wish-Bone Drawn" by Artokoloro captures a poignant moment during the Civil War. The image, created in 1864 by Winslow Homer and published in Harper's Weekly, depicts a group of Union soldiers breaking the wishbone at their camp meal. The artist masterfully conveys both the hope and close proximity to victory felt by these soldiers. In this wood engraving measuring 9 1/4 x 13 7/8 inches (235 x 352 cm), we witness a scene that speaks volumes about the resilience and camaraderie among those fighting for their ideals. As General Robert E. Lee's Confederate capital, Richmond, falls within four months of this drawing, there is an air of anticipation surrounding these men as they celebrate Thanksgiving together. Winslow Homer, an American artist born in Boston in 1836 but later residing in Prouts Neck, Maine until his passing in 1910, skillfully captures the emotional weight of this momentous occasion. Through his detailed depiction of Union soldiers gathered around a makeshift table adorned with food rations and weaponry nearby, he highlights not only their physical hunger but also their hunger for victory. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and celebrates unity amidst adversity. It immortalizes an important historical event while conveying timeless themes such as hope and perseverance that resonate even today.
