EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Currier and Ives, titled "Sergeant Major in the Continental Army. The Escape of Sergeant Champe from an American patrol" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - October 1780 during the Revolutionary War. The image depicts Sergeant John Champe, a brave soldier who devised an audacious plan to become a double agent in order to capture Benedict Arnold, infamous for his betrayal of the American cause. In this scene, we witness Champe's daring escape from an American patrol as he fakes his desertion. Mounted on a majestic horse and dressed in his Continental Army uniform, Champe races through the countryside of New York with incredible speed and determination. His sword glistens under the sunlight as he tightly grips its hilt, ready to face any challenges that come his way. The lithograph beautifully captures the intensity of this chase; dirt road flying beneath hooves while dust billows behind them. With every stride taken by both man and horse, they inch closer towards their mission's success. As we admire this artwork created by Currier and Ives around 1876, it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during America's fight for independence. It immortalizes Sergeant Major John Champe's bravery and unwavering commitment to justice – willing to risk everything for freedom.
