1807 Aaron Army Arrest Burr Conspiracy Equestrian Escape Fugitive Statesman Traitor Treason Troop
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Aaron Burr's arrest in 1807, as he attempted to flee the United States and seek refuge in Spanish territory. The steel engraving, created around 1850 by an American artist, beautifully portrays this significant event in American history. Aaron Burr, a prominent figure known for his roles as a statesman and soldier, found himself labeled as a traitor due to his alleged involvement in a conspiracy against the government. Mounted on horseback with an air of determination, Burr is depicted as an equestrian rider amidst a troop of men. This powerful image showcases both his early escape attempt and subsequent capture. The intensity of the scene is heightened by the presence of armed soldiers surrounding Burr. Their stern expressions convey their commitment to upholding justice and preventing him from evading punishment for his alleged crimes. Through this artwork, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when America was grappling with issues of treason and national security. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold positions of power can face consequences if they betray their country's trust. This remarkable print from The Granger Collection offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on one man's fall from grace while also appreciating the artistic skill behind its creation.
