EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American naval history. The image depicts the representation of the US frigate Constitution, under the command of Isaac Hull, engaging in battle with His Britannic Majesty's Frigate Guerriere, led by James R. Dacres. The scene is set on August 19th, 1812, during the War of 1812. As one examines this engraving by Cornelius Tiebout after Thomas Birch's original work, it becomes evident that this is not just any ordinary battle; it symbolizes an extraordinary victory for America. Known as "Old Ironsides" the USS Constitution was renowned for its strength and resilience. In this intense confrontation at sea, she skillfully outmaneuvers her British counterpart and emerges triumphant. The details captured in this print are truly remarkable - from the billowing smoke to the towering masts and intricate rigging of both ships. It serves as a testament to the bravery and determination displayed by those who fought on board these vessels. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry from our private collection, we are reminded of America's rich maritime heritage and its indomitable spirit during times of conflict. This photograph encapsulates an important chapter in history when American naval power asserted itself against formidable adversaries.
