EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Frenchmen proceeding to attack the Spanish Fort on the St Johns" takes us back in time to a significant event in history. Created by Felix Octavius Carr Darley and based on an unidentified edition of Benson J Lossing's book "Our Country: a Household History for All Readers from the Discovery of America to the Present Time" this print offers a glimpse into an intense moment during French-American relations. The scene depicts French soldiers advancing towards a Spanish fort, their determination evident in their resolute expressions and poised weaponry. The artist skillfully captures the tension and anticipation that must have filled the air as these brave men prepared to engage in battle. Set against the backdrop of St Johns, this image transports us to North America during a period when various European powers vied for control over its territories. It serves as a reminder of the complex historical dynamics that shaped not only American history but also global politics at large. As we observe this artwork, we are reminded of how events like these have shaped our world today. It is through understanding our past that we can gain insights into our present and future. This engraving stands as both a testament to human resilience and an invitation to explore further into the rich tapestry of history.
