EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Escape of Benedict Arnold" captures a pivotal moment in American history, depicted through an intricate engraving by the English School from the 19th century. The image showcases the infamous escape of Benedict Arnold, a name forever etched in United States history. In this scene, we witness Arnold's daring flight as he flees from his own troops and allies during the American Revolutionary War. The artist skillfully portrays the tension and urgency surrounding this treacherous act, leaving viewers on edge with anticipation. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual impact. It originates from Cassells History of the United States by Edward Ollier, published around 1900. Look and Learn holds the copyright for this remarkable piece. As we delve into our nation's past through this artwork, it serves as a reminder that even those who once fought valiantly for their country can succumb to betrayal. The Escape of Benedict Arnold remains an enduring symbol of deceit and disloyalty but also serves as a cautionary tale about human nature.
