EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving, created in 1870, immortalizes a pivotal moment in American history - George Washington taking command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Massachusetts on July 3,1775. The image depicts General Washington as an equestrian figure, exuding strength and determination atop his majestic horse. In this powerful scene, Washington emerges as the embodiment of leadership and courage during a time of rebellion. As commander-in-chief of the newly formed Continental Army, he stands ready to lead his troops into battle against British forces. His presence instills hope and inspires patriotism among those who fought for independence. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historic event with intricate details such as Washington's resolute expression and military attire. The engraving showcases not only the physical prowess of both man and horse but also symbolizes their unwavering commitment to freedom. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by our founding fathers during the American Revolution. George Washington's role as a military strategist and later as America's first president solidifies his place in history as one of our nation's most revered figures. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that it is through great leaders like George Washington that nations are forged and revolutions won. It encapsulates both the spirit of defiance that fueled America's fight for independence and pays homage to those who laid down their lives for liberty.
