Born London, England. Armed with a pencil and a sketchbook, artist-correspondent Alfred Waud created an incomparable record of the Civil War with his illustrations for two of the nation's leading news weeklies. Working first for the New York Illustrated News (1860-61) and then for Harper's Weekly , Waud accompanied the Army of the Potomac on all its major campaigns, from its defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861 to its victory at the siege of Petersburg in 1865. At a time when technical limitations made combat photography impractical, Waud produced highly detailed sketches that captured all the fury and chaos of the battlefield. When translated to the printed page in the form of wood engravings, Waud's renderings gave readers an eyewitness view of the war as it unfolded. |
