We Go for the Union, c. 1840/1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the heart of 19th century America and the tumultuous era of the American Civil War. Created by an unknown artist, this oil on canvas painting showcases a scene inside a bustling printing house. The image depicts a group of men diligently working in their workshop, surrounded by stacks of posters and prints advocating for the Union cause. A man holding paintbrushes stands at an easel, carefully adding vibrant colors to one such poster featuring General George Washington. The painter's palette reveals his dedication to capturing every detail with precision and skill. This artwork not only captures the industrious atmosphere within this printing shop but also serves as a testament to the power of propaganda during times of war. The artists and printers depicted here played an essential role in disseminating messages that rallied support for preserving the unity of our great nation. Through its naive art style, "We Go for the Union" evokes a sense of patriotism and pride in one's country. It reminds us of how ordinary individuals contributed their talents towards shaping history during this pivotal period in American history. Displayed at National Gallery of Art Washington, this piece invites viewers to reflect upon our shared heritage while acknowledging those who labored behind-the-scenes to uphold principles worth fighting for.
