EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the infamous duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, two prominent figures in American history. The artwork, created by Henry Alexander Ogden, depicts a pivotal moment that forever altered the course of the young United States. In this intense scene, both men are shown standing back-to-back at dawn on a desolate field. The tension is palpable as they prepare to face each other with pistols drawn. Their expressions reveal a mix of determination and trepidation, knowing that their actions will have far-reaching consequences for themselves and their nation. The duel itself was born out of deep-seated political rivalry and personal animosity between Burr and Hamilton. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that shaped early America's political landscape. Ogden's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life, capturing not only the physicality of the duel but also its emotional weight. Through his skilled engraving technique, he conveys an atmosphere charged with anticipation and tragedy. This lithograph print offers viewers a glimpse into one of America's most notorious duels while simultaneously inviting contemplation on themes such as honor, ambition, and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this piece from our private collection today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our country's tumultuous past and the individuals who helped shape its destiny.
