EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "View of the Ruins of Fort Ticonderoga" as captured by artist Thomas Abiel Prior in 1859. The image takes us back to a significant period in history, where Fort Ticonderoga, formerly known as Fort Carillon, stood tall on Lake Champlain in northern New York. Constructed between 1755 and 1757 during the Seven Years War by Michel Chartier de Lotbiniere, this star fort played a crucial role in colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France. It continued to hold strategic importance during the American Revolutionary War. The print transports us outdoors, revealing not only the impressive architectural structure but also its surroundings. A flock of sheep grazes peacefully nearby, adding an unexpected touch of nature amidst these historical ruins. The presence of animals reminds us that life goes on even amidst remnants of past conflicts. This image is part of "The History of England Div VIII" by David Hume & Tobias Smollett and was published by Virtue & Co. , London in 1859. Its monochromatic aesthetic adds depth and texture to the scene while evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of our rich history but also how landscapes can be transformed over centuries. This print serves as a window into both our past and present—a testament to human resilience against the passage of time.
