EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "East View of Hell Gate (recently blown up) in the Province of New York, 1778" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print showcases the aftermath of a dramatic event that occurred during the Revolutionary War. The image depicts a scene filled with chaos and destruction. The viewer is transported to Hell Gate, located in what is now known as New York City. The once formidable natural obstacle has been partially destroyed, symbolizing a strategic victory for the United States against British forces. As we examine the details within this historical artwork, we can identify various landmarks such as Pot Rock, Mill Rock, Hogs Back, Hoorns Hook, Morrisena, Gridiron Island and Hancock's Rock. Each element adds depth and authenticity to this visual representation of East View. Through its intricate engravings and meticulous attention to detail, this print offers us a glimpse into life during one of America's most challenging periods. It serves as both an educational tool and a reminder of our nation's resilience and determination. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world today thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this engraving continues to inspire curiosity about our past while honoring those who fought for freedom centuries ago.
