EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a pivotal moment in American history: the detainment of British General Lord William Howe by Mary Lindley Murray during the Battle of Harlem Heights in September 1776. The image, set in Murray's elegant mansion, depicts Mary boldly confronting Howe over a cup of tea, allowing her husband, Colonel John Murray, and American General Israel Putnam to escape and lead their forces to safety in upper Manhattan. Mary Lindley Murray, a brave and resourceful woman, played a crucial role in the American Revolution. Her quick thinking and bravery saved the lives of key American military leaders and allowed them to regroup and plan their next move. This print, a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people during this tumultuous time, offers a glimpse into the 18th century world of high society and warfare. The Battle of Harlem Heights was a significant victory for the American forces, as it marked the first time they were able to successfully defend their position against the British. This print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, brings the story of Mary Lindley Murray and the Battle of Harlem Heights to life, transporting us back to a time when the fate of a nation hung in the balance.
