EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813. The image depicts Oliver Hazard Perry, an American naval commander, leaving his badly damaged flagship, the Lawrence, and transferring to the Niagara to continue fighting against the British. The steel engraving, created by an American artist named William Henry Powell in 1877, beautifully brings this scene to life. It showcases Perry pointing towards his crew members as they row him towards the Niagara using oars and a lifeboat. The damage inflicted upon the Lawrence is evident, emphasizing the intensity of this maritime battle. The Battle of Lake Erie was a significant event during the War of 1812 between America and Britain. Perry's leadership and determination played a crucial role in securing victory for America over their English adversaries. This image serves as a testament to Perry's bravery and resilience as he fearlessly continues his fight for North America. The presence of Old Glory flying proudly on both ships symbolizes patriotism and national pride amidst adversity. The USS Niagara becomes Perry's new flagship as he commands his men with unwavering determination. This historical photograph from Granger Art on Demand not only commemorates an important moment in American military history but also highlights the courage exhibited by those who fought for their country during this tumultuous time period.
