Nast, one of the most influential political cartoonists of the 19th century, often depicted scenes of wartime life, and his work was a powerful tool in shaping public opinion about the war. In Reveille in Camp, Nast portrays a variety of scenes, blending a sense of duty with the mundane, sometimes challenging realities of a soldier's life. The illustration published in Harper's Weekly, shows soldiers rising from their tents at the break of dawn, stretching, washing, preparing for drills, and attending to their daily routines. Nast's detailed style brings life to these activities, showing both camaraderie and weariness among the men. This image reflects the discipline, rigor, and camaraderie of camp life while also hinting at the hardships and the psychological toll of war. Nast's ability to capture both the spirit and weariness of soldiers made him a respected illustrator, and works like Reveille in Camp helped civilians gain a deeper understanding of the Union soldier's experience. The scene reminds viewers of the human aspects of war, bridging the distance between soldiers and those back home.
