EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Passage of the Delaware in 1776" an iconic moment engraved by J. N. Gimbrede for The New York Mirror. The image transports us back to a pivotal time in American history, during the Revolutionary War. In this scene, we witness General George Washington leading his troops across the treacherous Delaware River. With determination etched on their faces, American soldiers brave freezing temperatures and icy waters as they embark on a daring attack on Trenton against British troops. Thomas Sully's masterful engraving captures the intensity of this historic event with remarkable detail. From the powerful strokes of Gimbrede's engraving to Sully's skilled reproduction, every line seems to convey the urgency and courage displayed by these soldiers. The composition is filled with movement and tension; cannons are being transported amidst swirling waves while Washington stands tall at the helm of his army. This visual narrative symbolizes not only a physical crossing but also represents America's fight for independence and its unwavering spirit. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from our private collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for liberty. It serves as a poignant reminder that freedom often comes at great cost but is always worth fighting for.
