EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured mezzotint print captures the commanding presence of Major General John Sullivan during the year 1776. Standing at three-quarter length, he exudes strength and determination in his military uniform, holding a sword firmly by his side. The artist from the English School in the 18th century skillfully portrays Sullivan's resolute gaze, hinting at his unwavering commitment to the Revolutionary cause. Amidst a backdrop of lush foliage and towering trees, this portrait highlights Sullivan's connection with nature as well as his role as a leader on the battlefield. His expertise in warfare is evident through the pike resting against a nearby tree trunk, symbolizing both strategic planning and readiness for combat. Beyond his military achievements, this image reminds us of Sullivan's multifaceted career. As an American General in the Revolutionary War, he played a crucial role in securing independence for our nation. Additionally, serving as a delegate in the Continental Congress showcased his dedication to shaping America's future beyond armed conflict. Later becoming a United States federal judge further exemplifies Sullivan's commitment to justice and governance after retiring from active duty. This engraving serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a historical testament to one man's significant contributions during America's formative years. Displayed proudly within Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City, this print allows viewers to connect with Major General John Sullivan on both personal and historical levels – appreciating him not just as an influential figure but also recognizing him
