"The Retreat through the Jerseys" is a historical illustration by the renowned American artist Howard Pyle, which was published in Scribner's Magazine in April 1898. The artwork was created as part of a visual accompaniment to "The Story of the Revolution," a narrative written by the American historian and statesman Henry Cabot Lodge. Pyle, who is often referred to as the "father of American illustration," was known for his ability to bring historical scenes to life with vivid detail and dramatic composition.

The illustration depicts a scene from the American Revolutionary War, specifically the arduous retreat of the Continental Army through New Jersey. This event took place in late 1776, following a series of defeats by the British forces. Under the command of General George Washington, the American troops conducted a strategic withdrawal across New Jersey, which eventually led to the pivotal victories at the Battles of Trenton and Princeton.

Howard Pyle's "The Retreat through the Jerseys" captures the hardship and resilience of the American soldiers during this critical moment in the war for independence. The artwork is characterized by Pyle's signature attention to historical accuracy, from the uniforms of the soldiers to the landscape of the Jerseys. His use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic movement within the composition, conveys the urgency and fatigue of the retreat.

As a piece of historical illustration, "The Retreat through the Jerseys" serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual interpretation of American history. It reflects Pyle's dedication to educating and engaging the public through the power of narrative art. The illustration remains an important example of Pyle's contribution to American illustration and the genre of historical art.
