EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving depicts Margaret Shippen Arnold, the second wife of infamous American Revolutionary War general Benedict Arnold. Created by Daniel Gardner between 1783 and 1789, this portrait captures the essence of a woman who played a significant role in one of history's most notorious betrayals. Margaret Shippen Arnold was born in 1760 and married Benedict Arnold in 1779 when she was just nineteen years old. Known for her beauty and charm, Margaret became an influential figure during the tumultuous times of the American Revolution. However, her loyalty would be tested when her husband switched sides to join the British forces. The artist skillfully portrays Margaret with elegance and grace, highlighting her delicate features and fashionable attire that were characteristic of women in the late 18th century. The wood engraving technique adds depth to every intricate detail, capturing both her physical beauty and inner strength. While history remembers Benedict Arnold as a traitor, this print serves as a reminder that behind every infamous figure lies complex relationships and personal stories. Margaret Shippen Arnold's life is shrouded in controversy but also offers insight into the struggles faced by individuals caught up in political turmoil. This exquisite print from The Granger Collection allows us to reflect on an important chapter in American history while appreciating the artistry involved in its creation. It serves as a visual testament to one woman's journey through love, loyalty, betrayal, and ultimately finding her place within a turbulent era.
