EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Major Washington on his Mission to the French Commander" takes us back in time to the American War of Independence. The engraving, created by Felix Octavius Carr Darley and part of a private collection, beautifully captures a significant moment in history. In this scene, we see Major George Washington on horseback, embarking on a crucial mission to meet with the French Commander. As one of the key figures in the American Revolution, Washington's determination and leadership shine through as he sets off into unknown territory. The image not only showcases Major Washington but also highlights the importance of horses during this period. From racehorses to ponies and shire horses, these majestic animals played an integral role in transportation and warfare. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within the frame tells its own story. The lush landscape serves as a backdrop for this historical event while several other farm animals graze peacefully nearby. This engraving was originally featured in an unidentified edition of "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers" written by Benson J Lossing around 1880. It offers viewers a glimpse into America's past and reminds us of our nation's struggle for independence. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's Elgar Collection, let it serve as a reminder that history is alive within each brushstroke or etching – waiting patiently for us to uncover its secrets and learn from its lessons.
