            [CIVIL WAR]. BARNARD, George N. (1819-1902), photographer. The Capitol Nashville (Tenn.). Ca 1866.   14 x 10 in. albumen photograph on 18 1/2 x 15 3/4 in. mount (toned, minor spotting; small dampstain to lower left mount). Title and photographer's attribution printed on mount. From George Barnard's Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, published in 1866. ' The Tennessee State Capitol was built between 1845 and 1859 on a rocky hilltop in Nashville. Designed by William Strickland (1788-1854) in a Greek Revival style. During the Civil War, Confederate forces did a poor job fortifying Nashville and surrendered to General Don Carlos Buell on 25 February 1862. Under Federal control, the Capitol was fortified with 14 artillery pieces, earthworks, palisades and became known as Fort Andrew Johnson. As evidenced by the tents and shelters visible in this image, the grounds quartered soldiers and served as the locale for meetings and courts-martial.

          • BARNARD, GEORGE N. - Tennessee River, Civil War 1866
            Jul. 17, 2021

            BARNARD, GEORGE N. - Tennessee River, Civil War 1866

            Est: $1,500 - $2,000

            [1864-1866]. Mounted albumen photograph with printed caption beneath the image. Image size: 10 5/8 x 14 1/4 inches. Sheet size: 16 1/2 x 21 inches. Unique large albumen photograph by George Barnard. Barnard had worked as a photographer documenting the Civil War from about 1861, initially working for Mathew Brady and Edward Anthony, and then, from December 1863, for the Topographical Branch of the Department of Engineers, Army of the Cumberland, based inNashville. Under the direction of Captain of Engineers Orlando M. Poe, Barnard ran the army's photographic operations. Bernard continued to work for the Union army until June 1865, recording a number of well-known locations, and taking part in Sherman's campaign, behind the front lines, taking photographs in his capacity as an official army photographer. In 1866, Barnard would publish his monumental Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign. [It] is a remarkable work of great symbolic, historic, and artistic power. It is a result of a complex interweaving of Barnard's personal vision, nineteenth-century pictorial conventions, and larger ideas about war and the American landscape. The album was the most ambitious project of Barnard's career, and has long been recognized as a landmark in the history of photography (Davis p.170). Indeed, the work has been called the first great landscape photobook. Interestingly, the above image is not found in Barnard's Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, instead comprising part of the impressive work done at Lookout Mountain for General Orlando M. Poe and the Corps of Topographical Engineers. Barnard's photographs from the summit of Lookout Mountain were taken in several positions. It is clear that he was fascinated by the aesthetic potential of this site, and used a set of visual motifs in a variety of permutations. These motifs included the majestic sweep of the landscape itself, the sinuous path of the Tennessee River, the contrast between rocky outcroppings in the foreground and the forested landscape below, and the presence of self-absorbed spectators within this natural grandeur. While central to the landscape art of this era, these themes had rarely been so eloquently expressed in photography (Davis, p. 67).

            Est: $1,500 - $2,000

            [New York: 1866]. Albumen photograph from a negative taken in 1866, image 10 x 14 inches, on original two-tone gilt-edged thin card mount, 16 1/8 x 20 inches, with plate title and photographer's credit. Image somewhat faded; mild discolouration in places; mount creased upper left; occasional foxing mostly in the mount. A stunning image from Barnard's 'Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign', an album which is one of the two greatest photographic monuments to the Civil War and 'a landmark in the history of photography' (Keith F. Davis). A contemporary reviewer wrote of this image and its companions: 'These photographs... surpass any other photographic views which have been produced in this country - whether relating to the war or otherwise' ('Harper's Weekly', 8 December, 1866, p.771). This image comes from George N. Barnard's album titled Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, embracing scenes of the occupation of Nashville, the great battles around Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, the campaign of Atlanta, March to the Sea, and the Great Raid through the Carolinas (1866). This album, together with Alexander Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the Civil War (1866) are the two greatest photographic monuments of the Civil War. Between them, they contain some of the most famous images of the War. This handsome example of this photograph shows the warehouses on the Savannah River looking south, which may well have contained some of the 250,000 bales of cotton that Sherman mentioned in the telegram to Lincoln in which he offered Savannah as a Christmas present. It is in any event a wonderful photograph illustrating one of the great non-casualties of the war. When Sherman arrived at the outskirts of Savannah and connected with the U. S. Naval forces on the coast, the destruction and agony of the city appeared to be inevitable. However, the troops evacuated the city and the Mayor surrendered, and Savannah was spared. The bright sunny day enhanced by Barnard's transposition of a sunny sky above the horizon, enhancing the overall feeling of peace and prosperity. (Note two steamboats and a tall ship docked across the river, and other ships downstream).

In a series of haunting images the album records the trail of destruction left across the Confederacy by General William T. Sherman’s army from 1864 to 1865 during his famous March to the Sea: from Nashville to Chattanooga, then Atlanta and to Savannah and the sea, then north to Columbia, South Carolina, and finally, Charleston.The images run chronologically starting with Nashville, and including Mission Ridge, Chattanooga, Resaca, Etawah Bridge, New Hope Church, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Savannah, Columbia, Charleston and Fort Sumter. To the North, the military campaign was brilliant, bold and decisive – an event worthy of the present monumental album. To the South, it was vicious, bloody and destructive. “The Potter (or Ponder) House Atlanta” shows part of the destruction due to shelling to Ephraim Ponder’s mansion on a hill near Marietta Street. The upper floors had been used by Confederate snipers and this spurred the Union artillery response. The house had been built in 1857 and was not re-occupied after the war.

Fort Sumter was besieged and attacked several times during the war, but had never surrendered. It was evacuated when Sherman took Charleston in February of 1865. As the tensions had mounted in 1860 and ’61, Sumter had taken on a terrifically symbolic significance. A Federal fort, its re-supply became a pivotal issue. All of which gives this image a rather forlorn impact.Barnard’s photograph records the destruction of the building in a way that makes it appear not too bad (most of the damage was to the interior), and he includes in the distance one of the handsome neo-Gothic towers of the Trinity Episcopal Church, which was unharmed by the fire.

            Est: $600 - $1,000

            Rare Original Civil War Photograph by George N. Barnard (1819-1902). Entitled: Rebel Works in Front of Atlanta, No. 3 [New York: 1866]. Albumen photograph from a negative taken in 1864, on original two-tone gilt-edged thin card mount, with plate title and photographer’s credit. Some foxing and discoloration, see pictures. Dimensions: Image 10 x 13 inches; With Card Mount 15 7/8 x 19 1/2 inches. A stunning image from Barnard’s ‘Photographic Views of Sherman’s Campaign’, an album which is one of the two greatest photographic monuments to the Civil War and ‘a landmark in the history of photography’ (Keith F. Davis). A contemporary reviewer wrote of this image and its companions: ‘These photographs… surpass any other photographic views which have been produced in this country – whether relating to the war or otherwise’ (‘Harper’s Weekly’, 8 December, 1866, p.771) This image comes from George N. Barnard’s album titled Photographic Views of Sherman’s Campaign, embracing scenes of the occupation of Nashville, the great battles around Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, the campaign of Atlanta, March to the Sea, and the Great Raid through the Carolinas (1866). This album, together with Alexander Gardner’s Photographic Sketchbook of the Civil War (1866) are the two greatest photographic monuments of the Civil War. Between them, they contain some of the most famous images of the War. “Photographic Views of Sherman’s Campaign is a remarkable work of great symbolic, historic, and artistic power. It is a result of a complex interweaving of Barnard’s personal vision, nineteenth-century pictorial conventions, and larger ideas about war and the American landscape. ” (Davis p.170). In a series of haunting images the album records the trail of destruction left across the Confederacy by General William T. Sherman’s army from 1864 to 1865 during his famous March to the Sea: from Nashville to Chattanooga, then Atlanta and to Savannah and the sea, then north to Columbia, South Carolina, and finally, Charleston.The images run chronologically starting with Nashville, and including Mission Ridge, Chattanooga, Resaca, Etawah Bridge, New Hope Church, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Savannah, Columbia, Charleston and Fort Sumter. To the North, the military campaign was brilliant, bold and decisive – an event worthy of the present monumental album. To the South, it was vicious, bloody and destructive. After the loss of Vicksburg, Atlanta began to prepare its defense. A circle of forts and earthworks was constructed around the city, about a mile from the center of town. Barnard made a number of photographs of parts of this mammoth effort. In this one, we are confronted by a cannon, a camp beyond and the city of Atlanta in the distance. Cf. De Renne p.1317; cf. Howes B150, “b.”; cf. Sabin 3462; cf. Taft Photography and the American Scene pp.232 & 486. See also: George N.

            Exceptionally Rare Civil War Photograph by George N. Barnard (1819-1902). The New Capitol, Columbia, S. C. [New York: 1866].

The building was ultimately reconstructed, with a few significant changes, along the lines of the original building and completed in 1903. Barnard’s photograph records the destruction of the building in a way that makes it appear not too bad (most of the damage was to the interior), and he includes in the distance one of the handsome neo-Gothic towers of the Trinity Episcopal Church, which was unharmed by the fire.

Barnard’s image of the Atlanta battlefield is curiously quiet with a complete absence of humans, living or dead. It is very much as if a tremendous storm has passed through and this is the aftermath. The viewer visualizes the nature of the storm by its effects. The fight for Atlanta was critical: the loss of it meant the Confederacy was doomed. Cf. De Renne p.1317; cf. Howes B150, “b.”; cf.

To the North, the military campaign was brilliant, bold and decisive – an event worthy of the present monumental album. To the South, it was vicious, bloody and destructive. This handsome example of the photograph shows the warehouses on the Savannah River looking south. These may well have contained some of the 250,000 bales of cotton that Sherman mentioned in the telegram to Lincoln in which he offered Savannah as a Christmas present. It is in any event a wonderful photograph illustrating one of the great non-casualties of the war. When Sherman arrived at the outskirts of Savannah and connected with the U. S. Naval forces on the coast, the destruction and agony of the city appeared to be inevitable. However, the Confederate troops evacuated the city and the Mayor surrendered. Savannah was spared. The bright sunny day enhanced by Barnard’s transposition of a sunny sky above the horizon, engenders an overall feeling of peace and prosperity. Cf. De Renne p.1317; cf. Howes B150, “b.”; cf.

To the North, the military campaign was brilliant, bold and decisive – an event worthy of the present monumental album. To the South, it was vicious, bloody and destructive. This image of Fort Sumter, a huge pile of rubble, with men at low tide crossing the small channel in a rowboat, make the once proud prize of the defiant South Carolina militia seem quite insignificant. Fort Sumter was besieged and attacked several times during the war, but had never surrendered. It was evacuated when Sherman took Charleston in February of 1865. As the tensions had mounted in 1860 and ’61, Sumter had taken on a terrifically symbolic significance. A Federal fort, its re-supply became a pivotal issue. All of which gives this image a rather forlorn impact.Barnard’s photograph records the destruction of the building in a way that makes it appear not too bad (most of the damage was to the interior), and he includes in the distance one of the handsome neo-Gothic towers of the Trinity Episcopal Church, which was unharmed by the fire.
