The Defences of New York - A Glimpse into the 19th Century's Impregnable Fortress
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The Defences of New York" takes us back to the late 1800s when the United States was fortifying its coastal cities against potential threats. The print showcases a front view of New York City's formidable harbour defenses, providing a fascinating glimpse into the city's military preparedness during that era. Intricately detailed and masterfully engraved, this artwork highlights an array of weapons strategically positioned along the coastline. Mortars, both great and twelve-inch in size, stand tall as symbols of strength and protection. Their imposing presence serves as a reminder that no enemy would dare challenge these impregnable defences. From this side view perspective, one can appreciate the sheer magnitude and scale of these defensive structures. The skyline of lower Manhattan provides a stunning backdrop for these mighty fortifications – an awe-inspiring testament to human ingenuity. "The Defences of New York" lithograph not only captures historical significance but also showcases artistic excellence through meticulous engraving techniques. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection and belongs to a private collection today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness an era where protecting our shores was paramount. It reminds us that history has shaped our present reality and encourages us to value the efforts made by those who came before us to safeguard our beloved cities
