EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts General William Howe's headquarters during the pivotal year of the American War of Independence, 1776. The scene is set in Philadelphia, which had recently been taken by British forces under the command of General Howe. The image captures the grandeur and opulence of the Cadwallader House, which served as the British military base and strategic center during the occupation. General Howe, a respected British military leader, is shown on horseback, surveying the city from the balcony of the house. He is dressed in his full military regalia, with his aide-de-camp in attendance. The tranquil scene is in stark contrast to the turmoil and chaos that was unfolding in the city below, as the American Revolutionary forces were regrouping and planning their next move. The Cadwallader House, a magnificent 18th-century mansion, stands proudly in the background, its grand facade a testament to the wealth and power of colonial America. The surrounding landscape is dotted with horses and riders, adding to the sense of movement and activity. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a pivotal moment in American history. It captures the tension and drama of the war, as well as the grandeur and opulence of the colonial era. The image is a reminder of the complex and intriguing history of America, and the pivotal role that Philadelphia played in the birth of a new nation.
