Here Washington is shown at Valley Forge, the winter encampment of 1777-1778 in Pennsylvania, where the Continental Army endured cold, hunger and disease while training under Baron von Steuben. The picture is a color halftone reproduction made by the Detroit Publishing Company, a firm known for hand-colored and photomechanical views of American scenes around 1900. Its painter, E. Percy Moran, was a Brooklyn-born artist whose patriotic subjects were widely reproduced at the time, so the image reflects how later generations pictured the Revolution as much as the winter itself.
