Product Details:

View of the Attack Against Fort Washington by Johann Martin Will depicts the British and Hessian assault on the American stronghold at Fort Washington in November 1776, presenting the battle from an elevated, panoramic perspective. British troops advance in disciplined formations across rolling terrain while the Hudson River bristles with warships delivering supporting fire, their cannons filling the scene with smoke. The American-held fort stands on high ground but appears beleaguered amid the overwhelming enemy presence. Though not fully accurate in geography, the engraving emphasizes British power and coordination, capturing a pivotal moment that resulted in the surrender of over 2,800 Continental soldiers and marking one of George Washington’s most painful early defeats of the Revolutionary War.
