EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic escape of Benedict Arnold, a notorious traitor in American history. Illustrated from Cassells History of the United States, published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin around 1900, this lithograph showcases the intense moment when Arnold flees to Canada during the American Revolution. Dressed in military uniforms and donning disguises, Arnold and his loyalists can be seen plotting their getaway. The image transports us back to a time when North America was embroiled in a struggle for independence from British rule. The significance of this historical event cannot be overstated. Benedict Arnold's betrayal shook the very foundations of trust within the Continental Army and left an indelible mark on American history. His actions not only tarnished his own reputation but also forever changed how we perceive acts of treason. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of the complexities that lie within human nature and how one man's choices can alter the course of an entire nation. It serves as a poignant reminder that even those who once fought valiantly for freedom can succumb to temptation or disillusionment. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported into a pivotal moment in Western Hemisphere history – witnessing firsthand both the bravery and treachery that shaped our continent's path towards liberty.
