EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the iconic image of Oliver Hazard Perry, one of the most celebrated naval commanders in American history. Born in Rhode Island in 1785, Perry rose through the ranks of the United States Navy during a time of great turmoil and change. His career spanned from the early days of the new republic to the onset of the War of 1812. Perry is best known for his decisive victory in the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813, during the War of 1812. With the American flag flying proudly above his ship, Perry's fleet defeated the British Navy, securing control of the lake and turning the tide of the war. This victory allowed American forces to regain control of Detroit and eventually led to the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war. The print depicts Perry in his full naval uniform, with a determined expression and a firm grip on the hilt of his sword. The American flag, with its stars and stripes, flutters in the wind behind him, a symbol of the young nation's resilience and determination. The image is a powerful reminder of Perry's leadership and the crucial role he played in securing American independence and expanding its territorial boundaries. This historical print is a testament to the rich and complex history of the United States Navy and the indomitable spirit of its early commanders. It is a must-have for any history buff, collector, or enthusiast of American military history.
