This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Gorget for an Officer of the South Carolina Infantry Regiment. Dating back to the late 18th century, this brass and gold breast ornament represents the rich heritage and symbolism associated with America's military past. The gorget features an intricately engraved coat of arms, proudly displaying its allegiance to the United States. Its vibrant colors and detailed design highlight the importance placed on heraldry during this era. This allegorical figure serves as a powerful reminder of liberty and unity in times of war. The unknown artist skillfully captures both male and female figures within this piece, representing the diverse individuals who fought for their country. The metalwork is exquisite, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this object stands as a testament to American history and warfare. It evokes a sense of pride in our nation's past while also serving as a poignant reminder of those who sacrificed their lives for freedom.
