This I Love
Every volunteer and staff member has a few collection items that capture their imagination in a special way. We've started a series to highlight these items and share them with the museum community. This contribution comes from Jack Dickinson, historian for the Special Collections Department at Marshall University.
"This is a bronze engraved shield, 22 inches by 18 inches, titled 'To the Brave Women of the South.' It is one of only three known to exist. Engraved in the late 1890's by Adalbert Johann Volck, it features nine small vignettes depicting the part that southern women played on the home front during the Civil War. It begins with the soldier leaving his family, continues with the trials at home during his absence, and ends with the return of the soldier. Most other pieces of art that feature southern women and their roles during the Civil War only feature one scene, so the fact that this piece features nine scenes makes it truly unique."
