EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in American history - the Battle of The Great Bridge over the Elizabeth River in Virginia. Taking place on December 9,1775, this battle was a clash between royalist forces sent by Lord Dunmore, the colonial governor, and the Virginia militia during the American Revolution. The print showcases the majestic Great Bridge spanning across the Elizabeth River as it becomes a witness to this historic confrontation. The intricate details of John Murray's engraving bring to life an intense scene where both sides fiercely fought for their cause. In this image, we see brave Virginian militiamen standing tall against well-equipped royalist troops. Their determination is palpable as they defend their land and fight for freedom from British rule. The bridge itself acts as a symbol of resilience and unity among these patriots. This artwork serves not only as a visual representation of an important battle but also as a reminder of America's struggle for independence. It captures a pivotal moment that would shape the course of history and inspire future generations to stand up against oppression. As we gaze upon this wood engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small yet significant chapter in America's quest for liberty and self-determination.
