Published in Nuremberg by G.N. Raspe in 1778, this etching presents John Sullivan while European readers were following the American war closely. Sullivan, a New Hampshire lawyer who rose to major general, commanded American troops in the 1778 attempt to drive British forces from Newport, Rhode Island. Its German origin is worth noting, since Nuremberg publishers produced many portraits of the war's commanders for a public eager for news from America.
