EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Washington Taking Command of the American Army - At Cambridge, Massachusetts, July 3rd, 1775" transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by renowned artists Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of patriotism and bravery that defined America's fight for independence. In this scene, General George Washington stands tall on his horse as he assumes command of the American army. The vibrant colours bring life to every detail: from the fluttering flags adorned with stars and stripes to the dust kicked up by galloping horses. The image exudes a sense of determination and unity as soldiers gather around their esteemed leader. The composition skillfully balances historical accuracy with artistic flair. Major Washington's military uniform is meticulously depicted while maintaining an air of heroism. Every figure present symbolizes not only individuals but also represents a nation united against oppression.

Their attention to detail combined with skilful lithography techniques made them pioneers in their field.
