1770s 1776 Cold Crossing Delaware Hero Heroic Ice Berg Independence Paddling Prior Rowing Trenton Washington December
EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic image captures the heroic moment of General George Washington and his brave army crossing the icy Delaware River on the night of December 25, 1776, during the American Revolution. Braving the frigid weather and treacherous waters, Washington led his soldiers in a surprise attack against the Hessian forces at Trenton, New Jersey. The successful battle marked a significant turning point in the war for American independence. In this print, Washington, dressed in a heavy greatcoat and tricorn hat, stands tall in the bow of the lead boat, his determined expression focused on the shore ahead. Soldiers paddle and row vigorously, their faces set with determination and grit. The American flag, held aloft, flutters in the wind, a symbol of hope and defiance in the face of adversity. The Delaware River, frozen in parts, adds to the sense of danger and urgency. Icebergs loom in the background, a reminder of the harsh winter conditions that made the crossing an even more daunting task. The soldiers, bundled up against the cold, row with all their might, their boats cutting through the water with purpose. This historic moment, immortalized in this print, continues to inspire awe and admiration for Washington and the courage of the American soldiers who fought for their independence. The events of that fateful night in 1776 remain a testament to the indomitable spirit of the American people and their unwavering commitment to freedom.
