EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact from the 19th century - EVNT2A-00196, Oliver H. Perry's note proudly declaring his victory on Lake Erie during the War of 1812. The woodcut with watercolor wash beautifully captures the essence of this vintage piece, emanating an aura of heritage and tradition. The signature and autograph of Oliver Hazard Perry himself grace this document, reminding us of its authenticity and importance. This remarkable manuscript holds immense value as an artifact that witnessed one of America's most decisive naval battles against the British Navy. Intriguingly, it was during this conflict in North America that Perry famously proclaimed, "We have met the enemy and they are ours". These powerful words resonate even today as a symbol of triumph and resilience in the face of adversity. The image transports us back to that pivotal moment in history when American forces secured victory over their adversaries on Lake Erie. It serves as a testament to Perry's leadership skills and strategic brilliance. As we delve into our nation's past through this extraordinary photograph, we are reminded not only of Oliver Perry's heroism but also how crucial these events were for shaping United States' destiny. This unique glimpse into our maritime history invites contemplation about the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for freedom on both sides during the War of 1812.
