EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting colored engraving showcases Henry Lee III, an influential American patriot and military leader of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in 1756 in Virginia, Lee rose to prominence during the American Revolution as a commander in the Continental Army, leading the renowned "Lee's Legion" of light horse cavalry. His military prowess extended beyond the battlefield, as he also served as a Governor of Virginia and a U.S. Senator, representing the Federalist Party. The image captures Lee in his later years, with a distinguished and thoughtful expression on his face. He is depicted wearing a tricorn hat, a common headgear during the colonial period, and a fashionable coat adorned with decorative buttons. The oval portrait format emphasizes Lee's prominent features, including his piercing eyes and strong jawline. Lee's legacy extends beyond his military and political accomplishments. He is also known for his deep-rooted patriotism and commitment to the United States. His father, Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee, was a Revolutionary War hero and the namesake of Fort Lee in Virginia. Lee's own son, Robert E. Lee, would go on to become one of the most famous military leaders in American history, commanding the Confederate Army during the Civil War. This engraving, published in The Universal History in 1885, offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a remarkable American figure. It serves as a testament to Lee's significant contributions to the nation's history and his enduring legacy as a patriot, military leader, and political figure.
