EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Washington and Steuben at Valley Forge" takes us back to a crucial moment in American history. The illustration, originally published in Harper's Magazine in July 1896, depicts General George Washington and Frederick William von Steuben at the infamous Valley Forge encampment during the Revolutionary War. The image showcases the German officer, von Steuben, inspecting troops amidst a snowy landscape. His presence symbolizes his instrumental role in transforming the Continental army into a disciplined fighting force. As he meticulously inspects each soldier, one can almost feel the intensity of his scrutiny. Meanwhile, General Washington stands tall beside him, exuding strength and determination despite the harsh conditions surrounding them. This portrayal captures their unwavering commitment to securing America's independence. The artist behind this masterpiece is Howard Pyle (1853-1911), known for his exceptional attention to detail and ability to bring historical scenes to life. Through Pyle's skilled hand, we are transported back in time to witness this significant event firsthand. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers during that brutal winter at Valley Forge. It immortalizes their resilience and dedication while paying homage to two key figures who played pivotal roles in shaping American history.
