Created by Jacques Chereau the Younger in the late 18th century, this print depicts a fictitious view of the devastating Great Fire that engulfed New York on September 19,1776. As British forces occupied the city during the American Revolution, chaos and destruction unfolded. The flames rise high against the darkened sky, symbolizing both literal and metaphorical turmoil.

Through this work of art, we are transported back to that fateful day when New York City witnessed its own inferno.
