Waud, Alfred R. (Alfred Rudolph), 1828-1891, artist. still image Drawings American 1860-1870. gmgpc [1863 July 2] eng Caption label from exhibit "American Treasures--Memory": A Civil War Sketch Artist. Alfred Waud was recognized as the best of the Civil War sketch artists who drew the war for the nation's pictorial press. Waud could render a scene quickly and accurately, with an artist's eye for composition and a reporter's instinct for human interest. At a time when the shutterspeed of cameras was not fast enough to capture action, the public's only glimpse of battle came from the sketch artists. Waud's apparent courage under fire and passion for the men he depicted drew him dangerously close to the fighting, and his drawings portray more intimately than those by any other artist the drama and horror of this country's most devastating conflict.
