EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to September 1776, offering a rare European perspective on a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a contemporary French line engraving by François Xavier Habermann, capturing the entry of British troops into New York City during its occupation. As we delve into this visual time capsule, we witness the bustling streets of late 18th-century New York come alive. The scene is filled with an array of people going about their daily lives amidst the arrival of these foreign soldiers. With meticulous detail and precision, Habermann's engraving transports us to that pivotal period when North America was embroiled in the throes of revolution. The composition expertly highlights both architectural grandeur and human presence as marching British troops make their way through crowded streets lined with historic buildings. This snapshot encapsulates not only a crucial chapter in American history but also offers insight into how Europeans perceived these events from afar.
