Did you know?
Winslow Homer was sent to the front lines during the American Civil War as a special correspondent for Harper's Weekly. His sketches provided the public with an intimate, unglamorous look at the daily lives of Union soldiers, differing significantly from the heroic battle scenes typically found in commercial illustrations of the time.
