EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking three-quarter length portrait captures Major General John Sullivan, a distinguished officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. The image, dated August 22, 1776, depicts Sullivan in full military regalia, standing tall and facing right with a spear in his right hand and his left hand resting on his hip. Sullivan's stern expression and confident posture convey a sense of determination and leadership. Born in 1740 in New Hampshire, Sullivan joined the Continental Army in 1775 as a colonel and quickly rose through the ranks due to his military prowess and strategic acumen. He played a key role in several major battles, including the Battle of Long Island and the Battle of Brandywine. Sullivan's most notable campaign was the Sullivan Expedition of 1779, which aimed to destroy Iroquois villages and disrupt British supply lines. Despite his military successes, Sullivan faced criticism from some quarters for his harsh tactics towards Native Americans. However, his contributions to the Continental Army were significant, and he remained a respected figure in the military until his retirement in 1783. This print, which is not to be confused with any commercial or satirical use of the name 'Major General John Sullivan,' offers a rare glimpse into the physical appearance and demeanor of a key figure in the American Revolution. The British cartoonist who created this image likely aimed to capture Sullivan's reputation as a formidable military leader, and the resulting portrait is a testament to the artist's skill and attention to detail.
