This picture pairs a portrait of George Washington with the scene of his army crossing the Delaware River, a combination that places the commander's face beside one of the best-known episodes of the Revolutionary War. The crossing took place on the night of December 25, 1776, when Continental troops were ferried through icy water to attack Hessian garrison forces at Trenton the next morning. The version of the scene most people recognize is Emanuel Leutze's 1851 painting, which made the moment a lasting national symbol. Images like this one were often displayed in the 19th and early 20th centuries as a way of honoring the nation's founding.
