EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American naval history - the Battle of Lake Erie. The image showcases Admiral Oliver Hazard Perry, a renowned US naval commander, standing tall in a rowing boat as he transitions from the US Brig Lawrence to the US Brig Niagara. The quote accompanying the photograph perfectly encapsulates Perry's determination: "If a Victory is to be Gained I'll Gain it". Taking place on September 10,1813, this historic battle saw Perry lead his American forces to victory over the British fleet. This triumph granted the Americans control over Lake Erie and paved their way towards recapturing Detroit. The engraving featured here originates from Benson J. Lossing's esteemed work titled "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers" published in 1878 by Johnson & Miles of New York. It offers viewers an insight into this crucial event that shaped America's maritime power during the early 19th century. George William Henry Powell skillfully executed this monochrome illustration, showcasing his talent as an artist of historical scenes. The print not only highlights Admiral Perry but also provides glimpses of other sailors and ships engaged in intense naval warfare. As we admire this remarkable piece from our collection at Heritage Images, let us remember and honor those who fought bravely for their country on that fateful day at Lake Erie - forever etching their names into American history books.
