This print captures the intense Siege of Fredericksburg, Virginia during the American Civil War. The image showcases the relentless bombardment of the Confederate-held city by Union artillery from the Army of the Potomac. The scene is filled with smoke and chaos as cannons fire, creating a dramatic display of power and destruction. The photograph also hints at future warfare strategies, as it foreshadows trench battles that would later define World War I.
