EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General John Sullivan, a prominent figure in American history during the Revolutionary War. The image captures him wearing a distinguished cocked hat adorned with intricate braid edging and an eye-catching gorget around his neck. This particular photograph was taken in 1937 but portrays General Sullivan as he would have appeared around 1770. General John Sullivan, born in Ireland and later becoming an Irish-American, played a crucial role as both a military leader and politician. He served as a delegate in the Continental Congress and went on to become Governor of New Hampshire. His contributions to the American Revolution are widely recognized. The photo is featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York. It beautifully captures the essence of eighteenth-century fashion, showcasing not only General Sullivan's attire but also highlighting elements such as buttons, epaulettes, collar details, and other aspects of military uniform design.
