Homer designed this print in June 1861 during the opening weeks of the Civil War. It shows young women gathered indoors on a summer afternoon to sew uniforms for Union soldiers. They make havelocks, cloth covers for military caps with long flaps at the back that protect the neck from the sun, and one of the seamstresses models a finished example. The lack of a male presence reminds of the men who have departed for the army, leaving wives, sweethearts, and sisters behind. The shadowed portrait of a soldier on the wall foreshadows the loss of life to come. https://met.org/2GNl2LN
