Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Just a little over 150 years ago, our great country endured a terrible and costly war, with itself. It was called the Civil War, but it was far from being civil. Americans fought against Americans, brothers fought against brothers and more Americans died during that war, than in all our wars combined. During a single day of battle at Antietam, over 23,000 men died. Here on the hallowed battlefields at Gettysburg, over 50,000 men were killed in only three days of battle. At the end of this sad time in our history, our differences were resolved and our country became a stronger union of states. I am glad that I did not live during that time, I hope that history never repeats itself and I hope that I never see America become ... A Country Divided.
I created this black and white image from my original color photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green square magnifier as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
