EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Capture of Major Andre" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print beautifully captures the intensity and drama surrounding the capture of Major John André. Displayed within a private collection, this artwork showcases a pivotal event from the American Revolutionary War. The illustration is believed to have been featured in Columbus and Columbia, a book published by Manufacturers Book Co around 1893. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, this image transports us to that fateful day when Major André was apprehended as he attempted to aid Benedict Arnold's treasonous plot. The intricate details bring forth the tension and suspense felt during his capture. Look closely at each stroke of the engraver's hand; you can almost feel the urgency in every line. This historic scene serves as a reminder of sacrifice and loyalty amidst war-torn times. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as both an educational tool and a testament to human resilience. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there are individuals who stand up for justice and uphold their principles with unwavering courage.
