1815réf. 34134Philadelphia: Murray Draper Fairman & Co. and J. Webster 1815. Hand-coloured engraving. This example is beautifully printed in the mid 20th-century from the original 19th-century copper plate with wide margins on hand-made paper. The Battle of Lake Erie was the first naval engagement of the War of 1812. The British had gained control of the lake in August 1812 when General Hull surrendered at Detroit. Among those captured was a master ship-builder from Erie Pa. named David Dobbins. After his release from custody Dobbins went to Washington and persuaded the U.S. Government to literally build a naval fleet on Lake Erie in order to challenge the British for its control. Dobbins then went immediately to Erie and rapidly constructed six ships. Meanwhile five more ships were sailed to Erie making a fleet of eleven. In September 1813 Oliver Hazard Perry took command of nine of these ships and set off to engage the British fleet which was captured after three hours of fierce battle; whereupon Perry sent his historic message: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." In May 1814 Commander Perry wrote approvingly to the publishers about the accuracy of this print: "I have no hesitation in pronouncing them a correct representation of the engagement at those particular moments."
