EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Colonel Arnold, a prominent figure who commanded the Provincial Troops sent against Quebec during a critical period in history. The image captures his resolute and determined expression, reflecting the courage and leadership that defined him as an army officer. Colonel Arnold's pivotal role in storming the city of Quebec under General Montgomery is immortalized through this engraving from 1776. It serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to the Continental Army and the cause of American independence. However, it is important to note that later on, he would become known as a defector due to his controversial actions. The portrait exudes strength and authority, symbolizing not only Colonel Arnold's military prowess but also his affiliation with the Sons of Liberty movement. His dedication to liberating Canada from British rule further emphasizes his significance in shaping North America's destiny. As we delve into this historical artifact captured by an anonymous English artist from the 18th century, we are reminded of Benedict Arnold's complex legacy. Despite being wounded during the siege of Quebec City, he continued to play a significant role in shaping American history before ultimately succumbing to betrayal. This print offers us a glimpse into an era when individuals like Colonel Arnold played instrumental roles in forging nations and challenging established powers. It stands as both a tribute and cautionary tale about loyalty, sacrifice, and human nature amidst turbulent times on the American continent.
