EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map of Rhode Island, taken from the collection "Guerre de l Amerique" by Dubourg. Created around 1780-81, this color engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The map was originally housed in the Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France. The detailed illustration depicts the strategic location of Rhode Island during the Revolutionary War and its occupation by the French army under Jean-Baptiste de Vimeur, Count of Rochambeau. This temporary occupation is marked as an important chapter in American history. With its intricate cartography, this image provides valuable insights into military camps and coastal areas during that time period. It serves as a testament to both French involvement and their alliance with American forces during the war for independence. The map's focus on Newport highlights its significance as a key port city at that time. As viewers study this piece, they can imagine how these historical events unfolded along Rhode Island's coast centuries ago. Preserved through time, this remarkable print not only captures an essential moment in America's struggle for freedom but also showcases Dubourg's skillful craftsmanship as a cartographer. Its presence invites us to explore our nation's past and appreciate those who fought bravely for liberty on these very shores.
