Washington's crossing of the Delaware on the night of December 25, 1776, took place through floating ice in bitter cold, and this color print turns that tense, deliberate movement across the water into its central subject. The record credits the image to Henry Mosler, a painter known for historical and genre subjects in the late nineteenth century, and the print dates from around 1912 to 1913, when color reproductions of patriotic scenes were popular. The crossing set up the surprise attack on the Hessian garrison at Trenton the following morning, a victory that lifted the Continental Army at a low point of the war.
