EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in American history, as Major John Andre is captured by members of the New York militia. The tension is palpable as the men examine papers hidden in Andre's boot, revealing his involvement in the plot to capture West Point. The bravery and determination of these militia members, John Paulding, David Williams, and Issac Vanwart, shine through as they apprehend this British spy.
The scene is filled with drama and intrigue, set against the backdrop of a horse-drawn carriage and looming trees. The expressions on the faces of both Andre and his captors tell a story of betrayal and justice. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for American independence during the Revolutionary War.
Created in 1845 by Sowle and Shaw, this lithograph brings to life a moment that has been immortalized in history books. It serves as a testament to the courage of ordinary citizens who rose up to defend their country against foreign threats. Major John Andre may have been captured on that day, but his legacy lives on through this powerful image.
