- Physical Description
- Antique- and aged-looking photograph of a dreamy, perhaps nocturnal landscape. In the foreground a massive tree rises up into the hazy night, and trees recede into the distance. White pock marks give the whole scene, sky and land, an ethereal starry look.
- Subject Matter
- Photograph taken and treated with techniques to make it look antique and aged. The ethereal landscape image of rural Virginia evokes history and the memory of a pastoral past. The subtitle of the piece, Manassas #25, reminds us that this landscape was a Civil War battlefield and makes it seem that the ghosts of the antebellum South and of the Civil War haunt the landscape.
