Waymart c. 1863 - 1865

"Waymart" is a photographic artwork by Thomas H. Johnson, capturing the aftermath of a battle. It depicts the scene from a hill overlooking a town, the foreground strewn with tree stumps, possibly a testament to the destruction caused by the conflict. The image is notable for its stark and desolate feel, highlighting the realities of war through the lens of a landscape photographer. Created between 1863 and 1865, the work is a poignant reminder of the impact of the American Civil War.
