EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1881 showcases a historic view of New London, Connecticut. The image takes us back to the American Revolution on September 6,1781, when the British set fire to New London and commemorates the Battle of Groton Heights. Looking west across the Thames River from Groton Heights, we are greeted by a striking monument on the left side of the print. This monument stands as a solemn reminder of the bravery and sacrifice displayed during that fateful battle. The scene depicted in this print is filled with rich historical significance. The riverfront setting highlights New London's strong maritime heritage and its importance as a transportation hub during that era. Ships can be seen dotting the river, further emphasizing its role in trade and commerce. The artist skillfully captures both beauty and tragedy in this scenic view. The calm waters of the Thames River juxtaposed with remnants of burned buildings serve as a poignant reminder of past conflicts endured by this resilient town. As viewers immerse themselves in this detailed engraving, they are transported back in time to witness an important moment in American history unfold before their eyes. It serves as a testament to our nation's struggle for independence and honors those who fought valiantly for freedom on these very grounds.
