Description
Civil War print - Drummer boy, General Butler, Fort MonroeFrom the exhibit ZOUAVES, DEVILS & SASS, Political Passions & The Printed Envelope During The American Civil War. Print size 24 x 18, and consciously formatted to work with a standard size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit. While in attitude and general repose this image reminds me of current musical and pop culture icon Amir Questlove, I believe it is meant to represent General Benjamin Butler. General Butler, commander of the Union
From the exhibit ZOUAVES, DEVILS & SASS, Political Passions & The Printed Envelope During The American Civil War.
Print size 24 x 18, and consciously formatted to work with a standard size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit.
While in attitude and general repose this image reminds me of current musical and pop culture icon Amir Questlove, I believe it is meant to represent General Benjamin Butler. General Butler, commander of the Union held Fort Monroe in Virginia's southeastern corner of the Chesapeake Bay, declared all Southern slaves to be contraband of war, well before The Emancipation Proclamation. As a result of what became known as the Fort Monroe Doctrine, word spread like wildfire among enslaved southern Blacks, many of whom made their way to the fort and freedom.
The Fort Monroe episode of the Civil War and its place in the time line of emancipation is worth further exploration. This print serves, as do nearly all the historic images we choose to work with, as a doorway into further inquiry which we're delighted to hold open for folks to step through.

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.
Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps. The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands. That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here. See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”
There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.
There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.
Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road. I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle! So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.
This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.
