Description |
English: Bergschotten Regiment, 1778, after Friedrich Konstantin August von Germann (1744–1794), from Stone, William. Memoirs and letters and journals of Major General Riedesel, during his residence in America. Albany: Munsell, 1868, 2 vols., New York Public Library. Provenance: Captain Friedrich Konstantin von Germann, was the commanding officer of Company 4, Hesse-Hanau Erbprinz Regiment, which fought along with the British in the American Revolutionary War. He took part in the 1777 Saratoga campaign, and painted a series of watercolors of American, British, and German soldiers around 1778 while in captivity. According to Thomas M. Barker, an unknown artist copied in 1851-1852 Germann's original paintings and the copies are preserved in the municipal archives of Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, and are available as postcards. The New York Public Library’s drawings are thought to be 19th-century copies of von Germann’s watercolors, possibly by the artists E. Sack and Kail, whose names appear on the copies. They were commissioned by the New York historian William Leete Stone Jr. to illustrate a personal copy of his translation of the "Memoirs, and letters and journals, of Major General Riedesel during his residence in America." Additionally, a set of 22 postcards in an envelop enclosure was reproduced in 2002 by Thomas Osfwald of Braunschweig, Germany. The Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library acquired a set in 2002 and used it in the exhibition, Crafts of the Rev War Community, as a part of the project, Revolutionary Lives: To Commemorate the 225th Anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga. |
