Painting Description
"General Howe's Redcoats Parade through Manhattan in September 1776 after the American defeat at the Battle of Long Island" is a historical print created by Franz Xavier Habermann, also known as François Xaver Habermann, who was an 18th-century German engraver and publisher. This work is part of a series of prints that depict various scenes from the American Revolutionary War. The print specifically illustrates the moment when British troops, led by General William Howe, paraded through the streets of Manhattan following their victory over American forces at the Battle of Long Island, also known as the Battle of Brooklyn, which took place on August 27, 1776.
The Battle of Long Island was a significant engagement and the first major battle fought after the United States declared its independence on July 4, 1776. The defeat forced American troops to retreat to Manhattan and was a blow to the morale of the Continental Army. Habermann's print captures the British military's display of power and control as they marched through the city, symbolizing their temporary dominance over New York during the early stages of the war.
Franz Xavier Habermann's work is notable for its detailed representation of military attire and formations of the period, providing a visual record of the events and contributing to the historical understanding of the American Revolutionary War. The print serves not only as an artistic piece but also as a historical document, reflecting the perspective and sentiments of the time regarding the British occupation of American cities.
As an artist, Habermann was known for producing a wide range of prints, including views of cities, historical events, and exotic subjects from around the world. His works were widely distributed and popular during his time, offering contemporary audiences a glimpse into the events and locales that shaped the 18th century. "General Howe's Redcoats Parade through Manhattan in September 1776" remains an important work for those studying the visual culture and historical narrative of the American Revolution.
