EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant lithograph captures the intense Battle of New Orleans, which took place on January 8th, 1815. Created by renowned artists Currier and Ives, this print showcases their exceptional talent in bringing to life pivotal moments in American history. The scene depicted is filled with action and drama. In the foreground, General Andrew Jackson leads his troops fearlessly into battle atop a majestic horse, while the American flag waves proudly above them. The firing line shows soldiers engaged in combat, showcasing the chaos and violence of war. Wounded soldiers lay scattered across the battlefield as smoke billows from cannons. Interestingly, there is an error on the print's date; it states that the battle occurred in 1814 when it actually took place a year later. This discrepancy arises from the fact that news traveled slowly during those times and America did not receive word of peace until February 1815. Despite this historical oversight, "The Battle of New Orleans" remains a captivating piece that symbolizes American resilience and victory during one of its most defining conflicts – The War of 1812. Displayed at Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT. , this artwork serves as a testament to our nation's rich history and reminds us of the sacrifices made by brave men like General Jackson to secure our freedom.
