EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "U. S. Military Academy - West Point, from the opposite Shore" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the prestigious American school's rich history. Published in 1862 by Currier & Ives, this colour lithograph showcases the beauty of West Point as seen from across the river. The image transports us to a serene outdoor setting where lush woods surround the academy grounds. The calm waters of the river reflect sailboats gracefully gliding along its surface while a steamer ship adds an element of bustling activity. This juxtaposition symbolizes both tranquility and progress, capturing an era when military education was evolving. The U. S. Military Academy at West Point has long been synonymous with excellence and discipline in training future leaders for America's armed forces. Established in 1802, it holds a significant place in our nation's history as one of its oldest service academies. As we admire this historical illustration, we can imagine families strolling along these very shores during leisurely afternoons spent visiting their cadets studying at West Point. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to every detail – from the meticulously designed buildings that house classrooms and dormitories to the sprawling campus itself. This print is part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, which aims to preserve and share important moments from our past through visual storytelling. It serves as a timeless reminder of West Point's enduring legacy as an institution dedicated to shaping
