EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures General George Washington leading his Continental Army troops during the pivotal Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776. The Battle of Trenton is considered a significant turning point in the American Revolutionary War, as it marked the first major victory for the Continental Army after a series of defeats. Washington is depicted in the center of the image, resolute and determined, with his sword raised high and his men following closely behind. The snow-covered landscape and the ominous clouds in the sky add to the sense of urgency and the harsh realities of war. The Battle of Trenton took place during the winter of 1776-1777, when Washington's troops were encamped in Pennsylvania. Faced with the prospect of a long and difficult winter, Washington decided to launch a surprise attack on the Hessian garrison in Trenton, New Jersey. The element of surprise was crucial to the success of the operation, and Washington's troops managed to cross the Delaware River under cover of darkness and catch the Hessians off guard. The battle lasted for only a few hours, but it resulted in the capture of over 900 Hessian soldiers and the loss of only a few Continental soldiers. The victory boosted morale among the Continental Army and provided much-needed supplies and resources. This print, created in 1870, is a testament to the bravery and leadership of General Washington and the Continental Army during the American Revolution. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that shaped the history of our nation.
