The Charge of Pulaski, c1880 - A Heroic Legacy in Black and White
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of bravery and sacrifice embodied by Kazimierz Pulaski, a Polish soldier who played a pivotal role in the American Revolutionary War. Pulaski's unwavering dedication to freedom led him to serve as Commander of Horse in the Continental Army, earning him the title "father of American cavalry". In this historic image, we witness Pulaski fearlessly leading his men into battle on horseback during the Battle of Savannah. The monochrome setting adds an air of solemnity as we contemplate the immense risks these soldiers faced for their country. Tragically, it was during this charge against British lines that Pulaski sustained a mortal wound. Just two days later, he succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind an indelible mark on American history. The print not only pays tribute to Pulaski's courage but also serves as a metaphor for leadership and selflessness. His willingness to lead from the front exemplifies his commitment to fighting alongside his comrades rather than simply commanding them. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us remember those who fought valiantly for our freedom and honor their sacrifices. Through this remarkable piece of artistry by Edmund Ollier and Unknown creator, we are transported back to a defining moment in our nation's history - one that forever changed the course of warfare and solidified America's fight for independence.
