EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as it depicts George Washington planting the British flag at Fort Duquesne. The illustration, taken from Cassells History of the United States published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin around 1900, transports us back to a time when military uniforms and costumes defined the battlefield. The image showcases the determination and bravery of both Washington and his fellow soldiers as they fought for control over this strategic fort located in present-day Pittsburgh. With Canada serving as a backdrop, this scene symbolizes not only the clash between Britain and France during the French and Indian War but also foreshadows America's eventual fight for independence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this lithograph. The vibrant colors bring life to each soldier's uniform while emphasizing their allegiance to their respective nations. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of North America's rich history and its significance within the Western Hemisphere. Displayed proudly in our private collection, this historical masterpiece serves as a reminder of Washington's leadership skills and his instrumental role in shaping American identity. It invites us to reflect on how far our great nation has come since those early days when flags were planted on foreign soil. This artwork truly encapsulates an important chapter in American history that continues to inspire generations today.
