EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruins Carey Street Richmond 1865" takes us back in time to the aftermath of the American Civil War. The image, captured by Thomas C. Roche and Alexander Gardner, showcases the devastation that occurred in Richmond, Virginia during this tumultuous period. Measuring 186 x 238 cm, this albumen silver print is a remarkable testament to the power of photography as a historical document. The glass negative used to create this image has preserved every intricate detail of the crumbling buildings and debris-strewn streets. Thomas C. Roche, an American photographer born in 1826, collaborated with Alexander Gardner on numerous projects throughout his career. Their work often focused on documenting significant events and landscapes across America. Gardner himself was originally from Glasgow, Scotland but later settled in Washington D. C. , where he made a name for himself as one of the most prominent photographers of his time. This particular photograph stands out as it captures a lesser-known aspect of his early career - capturing scenes from post-war America. The ruins depicted here serve as a poignant reminder of the destruction caused by war while also highlighting the resilience and determination of those who lived through such challenging times. Through photographs like these, we are able to gain insight into our history and appreciate how far we have come since then.
