EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed General Montgomery, a prominent figure in both British and American military history. The portrait, dating back to around 1770 but printed in 1937, offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time as well as the character of this influential Irish soldier. General Richard Montgomery's commanding presence is evident in his dignified pose and attire. He wears a black silk stock around his neck, adding an air of sophistication to his military uniform. His hair is styled in a queue, reflecting the prevailing fashion trends of the era. The photograph originates from Elisabeth McClellan's renowned book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York during 1937. It serves as a testament to McClellan's dedication to documenting historical clothing styles throughout American history. As one delves deeper into this image, it becomes apparent that General Montgomery played a significant role during the American Revolutionary War. Initially serving in the British Army before joining forces with the Continental Army, he rose through ranks to become a major general. This remarkable portrait not only captures General Montgomery's appearance but also provides insight into an important period marked by revolution and struggle for independence. It stands as an enduring symbol of courage and determination within America's rich military heritage.
