"The Attack Upon the Chew House" is a historical illustration by Howard Pyle, a renowned American illustrator and author, which was published in Scribner's Magazine in June 1898. The artwork was created as part of a visual narrative for "The Story of the Revolution," a series written by the American historian and statesman Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924). Pyle's illustration vividly depicts a scene from the American Revolutionary War, specifically the Battle of Germantown, where American forces engaged the British at the Chew House, also known as Cliveden, on October 4, 1777.

Howard Pyle, known for his contributions to the Brandywine School and his ability to bring historical scenes to life, uses his distinctive style to convey the intensity and drama of the battle. The Chew House served as a stronghold for British troops during the engagement, and Pyle's work captures the ferocity of the American assault on the fortified mansion. His attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy are evident in the depiction of the soldiers' uniforms, weapons, and the architectural features of the Chew House.

The illustration not only serves as an artistic representation of a significant event in American history but also reflects the period's interest in the Revolutionary War and the broader trend of romanticizing the nation's past. Pyle's work was instrumental in shaping the visual culture of American history at the turn of the 20th century, and "The Attack Upon the Chew House" stands as a testament to his skill in storytelling through art.

As part of Lodge's historical series, Pyle's illustration helped to popularize the stories of the American Revolution among the readers of Scribner's Magazine, contributing to the era's burgeoning national identity and the public's understanding of the country's foundational narratives. The artwork remains an important piece of American historical illustration and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its role in the cultural construction of American history.
