EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the "Arrest of General Westcott". Taken from Cassells History of the United States, published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin around 1900, this lithograph showcases the talent of an American/English school artist from the 19th century. The scene depicted is filled with tension and drama. The costumes worn by the figures suggest that it takes place during a military conflict. General Westcott stands at the center, his face etched with determination as he faces his captors. Surrounding him are soldiers in uniform, their stern expressions revealing their allegiance to Canada. This arresting image transports us back to a time when America was fighting for its independence. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by both Canadians and Americans during this revolutionary period in history. The engraving skillfully captures not only individual characters but also highlights broader themes such as national identity and territorial disputes. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe for those who fought bravely on both sides of this conflict. This print serves as a testament to their sacrifices and reminds us of how far our nations have come since then. Displayed within private collections today, this out-of-copyright artwork continues to inspire curiosity about our shared past on the North American continent - an important chapter in Western Hemisphere history that should never be forgotten or overlooked.
