Hardtack Civil War Life Postcard
- from our Affiliates
Humorous image from Winslow Homer's Souvenir cards showing the daily life of Union soldiers during the Civil War, this view shows a soldier enjoying the infamous meal of hardtack. Harper's sent Homer to the front lines of the American Civil War (1861–1865), where he sketched battle scenes and camp life, the quiet moments as well as the chaotic ones. Although the drawings did not get much attention at the time, they mark Homer's expanding skills from illustrator to painter.
