EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled 'Benedict Arnold Viewing the Destruction of New London,' captures a pivotal moment during the American War of Independence in September 1781. The image portrays Benedict Arnold, a controversial figure in the Revolutionary War, gazing upon the smoldering ruins of New London, Connecticut. The city had been set ablaze by British forces under the command of General William Tryon, in retaliation for American raids on British loyalist settlements. The date, September 1781, marks a significant turning point in the war, as the American forces, led by General George Washington, were gaining momentum with their victories at the Battle of Saratoga and the Siege of Yorktown. However, the destruction of New London served as a bitter reminder of the ongoing conflict and its devastating impact on civilian populations. The print provides a vivid depiction of the aftermath of the attack, with the bells and steeples of the town's churches and buildings reduced to ashes. The once-thriving port city is now a ghostly scene of destruction, with smoke rising from the charred remains. Arnold, dressed in military attire, stands at the water's edge, his expression a mix of disbelief and determination. This 18th-century print offers a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of those affected by it. The image of Arnold, a man once trusted by the Continental Army but later infamous for his betrayal, serves as a reminder of the complexities and contradictions of the Revolutionary War era. The print also underscores the importance of historical preservation, as it allows us to bear witness to the past and learn from it.
