EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore by the British Navy on September 13-14,1814. The line engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures the intensity and drama of this historic event. In this image, we witness an exterior view of Fort McHenry as it stands tall against the backdrop of Chesapeake Bay. The fort's sturdy walls symbolize American resilience and determination during the War of 1812. As waves crash against its foundation, a British ship looms ominously in the distance, ready to unleash its devastating firepower upon this strategic stronghold. The artist skillfully depicts the chaos and destruction that ensued during those fateful days. Smoke billows from cannon fire while explosions light up both sky and sea. Amidst this turmoil, brave American soldiers defend their land with unwavering courage. Fort McHenry's resistance ultimately proved victorious as it successfully repelled repeated attacks by the Royal Navy. This triumph became a source of inspiration for Francis Scott Key who witnessed these events firsthand and later penned "The Star-Spangled Banner" which would become America's national anthem. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, we are reminded not only of our nation's tumultuous past but also of our enduring spirit in times of adversity.
