介绍（中）	这来自荷马在他职业生涯早期为《哈珀周刊》设计的一组木版画。他的传记作者威廉·豪·唐斯（William Howe Downes）指出："不祥的1861年标志着一个决定性的转折点......现在二十五岁，几年来[荷马]一直能够通过他的黑白工作养活自己，并准备利用1861年3月林肯总统就职后迅速发生的重大历史事件。这位艺术家为Harper's工作，前往华盛顿特区和前线，也在他的家乡马萨诸塞州寻找主题。图中显示了准备弹药的男人和女人。第450页的相关文字将其描述为："马萨诸塞州沃特敦的美国兵工厂灌装盒的运作情况。在这个机构中，约有300名特工不断制作战争物资。粉末（其中最好的是使用的，其中大量从墨西哥战争中回来，因为担心它可能不好而被扔在一边）由男人插入弹药筒中，如下图所示。子弹是女孩插入的，如上图所示。至少有七十名女孩和妇女经常在沃特敦从事这种职业。仅在这家工厂，每天生产的墨盒数量就非常庞大;很明显，在几周内，无论如何都不会缺少这种战争材料。
介绍（英）	This comes from a group of wood engravings that Homer designed for "Harper's Weekly" early in his career. His biographer William Howe Downes noted that "the portentious year 1861 marks a decisive turning point...now twenty-five years of age, for several years [Homer] had been able to support himself by his black and white work and was ready to take advantage of the momentous historic events which followed fast upon the inauguration of President Lincoln in March 1861." Working for Harper's, the artist traveled to Washington DC and the front, also finding subjects in his native Massachusetts. Here men and women are shown preparing munitions. Related text on p. 450 describes this as: "a picture of the operation of Filling Cartridges at the United States Arsenal at Watertown, Massachusetts. At this establishment some 300 operatives are kept constantly at work making war material. The powder (of which the best is used, a large quantity of which came back from the Mexican war being thrown aside for fear it may not be good) is inserted in the cartridge by men, as shown in the lower picture. The bullet is inserted by girls, as shown in the picture above. At least seventy girls and women are kept constantly employed at Watertown in this avocation. The amount of cartridges turned out daily at this factory alone is enormous; and it is evident that, in the course of a few weeks, there will be no lack of this material of war, at all events."
