EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Archibald Robertson, a lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, offers us a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Dated 12 July 1776, it showcases the breathtaking view of the Narrows between Long Island and Staten Island. The artist's pen and ink technique combined with wash drawing brings this scene to life. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly our fleet at anchor, proudly stationed amidst the picturesque landscape. As we admire their majestic presence, we cannot help but notice Lord Howe Coming In, adding an air of anticipation to the composition. This artwork serves as a testament to both the skillful craftsmanship of Robertson and his ability to capture historical events on paper. Transporting us back to that pivotal time during the American Revolution, this piece immerses us in its late 18th-century setting. The British army's influence is evident throughout – from their fine ships dotting New York Harbor to their general overseeing operations on Staten Island. Robertson's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of nature but also highlights key elements such as Brooklyn and other landmarks within North America. It is through works like these that we gain insight into how artists documented history while simultaneously showcasing their artistic prowess. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print provides viewers with an opportunity for reflection upon one chapter in our shared past - reminding us of both triumphs and challenges faced during those transformative years.
