General Burgoyne addressing the Indians, 1777 (c1880)
General Burgoyne addressing the Indians, 1777 (c1880). John Burgoyne was given command of British forces in Canada in 1777. He planned to march on Albany, New York, then on to New York itself. He believed that the Native American populace and large numbers of loyalists would support his campaign and that the American Revolutionary War could be quickly and decisively ended in Britains favour. His campaign, which ended with defeat at the Battle of Saratoga, proved his beliefs to be ill-founded. A print from Cassells History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume II, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "General Burgoyne addressing the Indians, 1777 (c1880)", captures a significant moment in history during the American Revolutionary War. The image depicts General John Burgoyne, commander of British forces in Canada, engaging with Native American leaders in an attempt to rally their support for his campaign. In 1777, General Burgoyne devised a bold plan to march on Albany and then New York City, believing that the Native American population and loyalists would join his cause. This meeting symbolizes his hopes for a swift victory that would favor Britain's interests in the war. However, as history reveals, this strategy proved ill-founded. Despite General Burgoyne's persuasive efforts depicted here – speaking passionately while Native Americans listen intently – his campaign ultimately ended in defeat at the Battle of Saratoga. This pivotal battle marked a turning point in the war and shattered any illusions of an easy British triumph. The engraving is part of Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier from around 1880. It offers us a glimpse into this critical juncture within America's fight for independence. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical scene while emphasizing its timeless significance. As we observe this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of how complex alliances were formed during times of conflict and how even well-intentioned plans can falter against determined opposition.
