EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American naval history during the War of 1812. The image depicts Oliver Hazard Perry, an esteemed commander, leaving his badly damaged flagship, the Lawrence, for the Niagara to continue fighting against the British at the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10th, 1813. The steel engraving beautifully showcases this heroic scene and was created by William Henry Powell in 1877. It portrays Perry pointing towards his crew as he transfers from one ship to another using a rowboat. The determination and courage displayed by Perry is palpable as he navigates through the chaos of battle. The composition highlights both the destruction caused by warfare and the resilience of American forces. The Lawrence's tattered sails and battered hull serve as a stark reminder of the intense combat that took place on those treacherous waters. Meanwhile, in contrast to this scene of devastation, we see hope embodied in Old Glory proudly waving atop Niagara. This artwork not only commemorates an important event but also pays tribute to America's maritime heritage and its brave men who fought for their country's freedom. It serves as a testament to Perry's leadership skills and unwavering commitment to victory. As viewers gaze upon this powerful image, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand one man's indomitable spirit amidst adversity—a true embodiment of heroism on Lake Erie over two centuries ago.
