EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - the British defeat in 1814 during the War of 1812. The print showcases two pivotal events that occurred on September 11th, which ultimately led to the American victory. In this artwork, we witness General Alexander Macomb's land forces successfully repulsing the British at Plattsburg. Their determination and strategic maneuvers are evident as they stand strong against their opponents. Meanwhile, Thomas Macdonough's fleet emerges triumphant on Lake Champlain, defeating and capturing the entire British squadron. The bravery and skill of these American leaders are highlighted through this vivid portrayal. The artist has captured both the intensity of battle and its aftermath with great attention to detail. We see English soldiers surrendering while American men celebrate their hard-fought triumphs on land and sea. This image serves as a powerful reminder of America's resilience during this historic conflict. As an early colored engraving, it not only commemorates a crucial turning point but also reflects artistic techniques prevalent during that era. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into how historical events were visually represented in the past.
