EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving in vibrant colors depicts Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810), an influential American military leader who rose to prominence during the Revolutionary War. Born in Hingham, Massachusetts, Lincoln joined the Continental Army in 1775 as a Major and was appointed a Brigadier General in 1777. He played a crucial role in several key battles, including the siege of Charleston and the surrender at Saratoga, which significantly turned the tide of the war in favor of the American forces. Lincoln's military career extended beyond the Revolutionary War, as he served as a Major General in the Federal Army during the Quasi-War with France in 1798. A staunch Federalist, Lincoln's political beliefs were reflected in his military strategy, which emphasized a strong central government and a well-funded military. In this portrait, Lincoln is depicted in his military uniform, complete with a sash and a wheel on his shoulder, signifying his rank as a Major General. The cannon in the background underscores his military prowess. The engraving captures the essence of a man of the 18th century, standing tall and resolute, with an air of authority and determination. This historical image is a testament to the rich history of the United States and the pivotal role that figures like Benjamin Lincoln played in shaping the nation's future. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the engraving, making it a captivating addition to any collection of American history or military memorabilia.
