EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A Philadelphia Light Horse Trooper, 1775," was created by the renowned American artist Edward Penfield between 1890 and 1907. Published by Harper Publications in New York, this stunning piece is a testament to the rich history of both the United States and the art of lithography. Set against a backdrop of the 18th century, the image showcases a solitary figure dressed in the uniform of a Philadelphia Light Horse Trooper. The trooper is depicted in full length, his horse standing proudly by his side. He wears a brown coat adorned with red and white trim, a tricorn hat, and a red waistcoat. His riding equipment, including a saddle and bridle, are meticulously detailed. The lithograph is a beautiful blend of the 18th and 19th centuries, with the use of both capital and lower case lettering in the title adding to its vintage charm. The image is reminiscent of the heritage art found in libraries and museums, and is a nod to the historic fashion of the time. Penfield's mastery of lithography is evident in the intricate details of the trooper's uniform and the textures of the horse's coat. The use of lithotint adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a standout piece of art. This lithograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past, but also a stunning work of art in its own right. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving history and the beauty of the art that captures it.
