"The Battle at Bunker's Hill" Engraving by J. N. Gimbrede
c. 1842, Steel Engraving, "The Battle at Bunker's Hill", J. N. Gimbrede, Printed by James Irwin, After the Painting by John Trumbull, Choice Very Fine.
Engraving titled, "The Battle at Bunker's Hill", measuring about 12.75" x 9.75" (by sight), professionally matted and gold decoratively framed to an overall size of 21.75" x 17.75". Designed after the 1786 Painting by Col. John Trumbull titled, "Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill, 17 June 1775." Colonists and British soldiers, some holding flags, clash with swords and muskets, depicting the famous scene from the Revolutionary War. At front right, a black soldier is part of the battle scene. He was a Slave named Prince Estabrook who had volunteered to fight and had been voted into the Lexington company. In the central image Dr. Joseph Warren lies mortally wounded, being aided by John Chester. Smoke and ships appear in the background. Caption below the title quotes Benjamin Franklin reading: "The path to Liberty is bloody." This is not the more common print Engraved expressly for the New York Mirror which is typically seen. A clean pleasing example, Franklin's quote has faded yet remains legible. Attractively framed and ready to hang on display.
On June 17, 1775, early in the Revolutionary War (1775-83), the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Bunker Hill in Massachusetts. Despite their loss, the inexperienced colonial forces inflicted significant casualties against the enemy, and the battle provided them with an important confidence boost.
Gimbrede, Joseph Napoleon, 1820 - Engraver.
