EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Battle of Monmouth in 1778" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by Alonzo Chappel and housed at the American Antiquarian Society, this print immortalizes the fierce clash between the American Continental Army led by George Washington and the British Army under Sir Henry Clinton. The scene depicted is that of June 28, when Washington's forces launched a surprise attack on the rear of Clinton's column as they departed from Monmouth Court House. The intensity of the battle is palpable as soldiers engage in combat on a vast battlefield. This image transports us to an era defined by bravery, sacrifice, and determination. As we gaze upon this artwork, we witness not only a historical event but also a symbolic representation of America's fight for independence. The soldiers portrayed here embody unwavering patriotism and resilience against all odds. Their faces etched with determination reflect their commitment to securing liberty for future generations. Chappel's meticulous attention to detail captures every aspect of this confrontation – from the smoke-filled air to each soldier's uniformed attire. Through his skilled handiwork, he brings alive an important chapter in North America's past. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's roots and pays homage to those who fought valiantly during the Revolutionary War. It stands as both an educational tool and a testament to human courage in times of conflict.
