EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Staten Island and the Narrows from Fort Hamilton, N. Y. c. 1861" takes us back in time to the mid-19th century when America was on the brink of great change. Created by Frances Flora Bond Palmer, also known as Fanny Palmer, this watercolor on paper masterpiece measures 76.2x101.3 cm and is currently housed in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. The artwork showcases a panoramic view of Staten Island and the Narrows as seen from Fort Hamilton in New York City during that era. The meticulous brushstrokes bring to life a scene filled with historical significance - a testament to both shipping and coastal defense strategies employed at that time. Fort Hamilton itself, built in 1825 but not officially named until much later, stands prominently within the composition while Fort Diamond (or Lafayette) can be spotted on an island within the Hudson River. This painting offers viewers a glimpse into how these fortifications played crucial roles in safeguarding American shores. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to an era where maritime trade thrived alongside efforts to protect our nation's borders. It serves as a reminder of America's rich history and its enduring commitment to fortification and defense – values that continue to shape our nation today.
