EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of James Armistead Lafayette, an African American spy during the American Revolutionary War. The engraving depicts a certificate presented to Armistead by the Marquis de Lafayette in 1784, commending him for his exceptional service during the war. The portrait included in this print is based on John Martins' painting from around 1824 and offers a glimpse into Armistead's appearance and character. His noble demeanor reflects his dedication to the cause of freedom and his unwavering patriotism. Armistead's story is one of bravery and sacrifice as he risked his life working as a secret agent behind enemy lines, gathering crucial intelligence that aided the American forces in their fight against British rule. His invaluable contributions played a significant role in securing victory for the revolutionaries. This print not only highlights Armistead's remarkable achievements but also serves as a reminder of the countless unsung heroes who fought for liberty during this pivotal period in history.
