EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the pivotal moment when George Washington assumed command of the American revolutionary army on July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts. The image portrays Washington, dressed in military attire, standing atop a horse with an air of determination and authority. Surrounded by a sea of soldiers, he raises his hand in a gesture of unity and leadership. This historic event marked the beginning of Washington's tenure as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, a position he would hold until the end of the American Revolution in 1783. The backdrop of this momentous occasion was the growing tension between the American colonies and Great Britain, which had led to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Washington, a respected military leader and a symbol of American patriotism, was chosen to lead the Continental Army in the fight for independence. His leadership and strategic acumen proved instrumental in securing several key victories against the British forces, ultimately leading to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized the United States as an independent nation. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the pivotal role George Washington played in the birth of American democracy and the struggle for independence. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit and unwavering resolve of the American people during a time of great adversity and change.
