EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Carrying Powder to Perry at Lake Erie, 1911" transports us back in time to a pivotal moment in American history. The colour lithograph, created by the talented artist Howard Pyle, depicts a scene from 1813 during the War of 1812. In this image, we witness the arduous task of transporting gunpowder to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's fleet on Lake Erie. A covered wagon pulled by sturdy horses becomes the vessel for this precious cargo. The wagon is laden with barrels of gunpowder as it traverses through rugged terrain towards its destination. The composition exudes a sense of urgency and determination as these brave men fulfill their duty amidst the backdrop of war. Pyle's attention to detail brings life to every element within the frame - from the weathered faces of those involved in this perilous mission to the subtle play of light and shadow that adds depth and drama. Originally commissioned by Du Pont Powder Company in Wilmington, Delaware, this artwork showcases not only Pyle's artistic prowess but also pays homage to America's rich military heritage. It stands as a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on those who have sacrificed so much throughout history for our freedom and security. May their bravery continue to inspire generations yet unborn.
