Mail 

"Mail" is a black and white lithograph by Edward A. Sallenbach, created in a realist style that captures the intimacy of a soldier reading a letter while lying on a cot in a military barracks. The image conveys the poignant sense of longing and connection that a letter from home would provide to soldiers during wartime. The artist's use of light and shadow further emphasizes the soldier's solitude, and the detail in his posture suggests a moment of deep reflection. The setting, a dimly lit barracks with military equipment and other soldiers' belongings in the background, evokes the harsh realities of war and the comfort that a simple letter can bring.
