Unlike the familiar Leutze canvas, this color print credits Henry Mosler, a painter known for scenes of American history, and it dates from about 1912 to 1913, roughly 135 years after the event. It shows Washington's army crossing the icy Delaware on the night of December 25, 1776, a move that let the Continentals surprise the Hessian garrison at Trenton the next morning. Reproductions like this one carried Revolutionary War subjects into schools and homes in the early twentieth century, when such images helped shape how Americans pictured the nation's founding.
