An engraved oval portrait titled “Der Americanische General Arnold,” depicting Benedict Arnold in Continental uniform. Issued in Europe during the Revolutionary era, the print reflects early transatlantic interest in American military figures, presenting Arnold at a moment when he was widely regarded as a capable and celebrated commander prior to his later defection. Such images circulated abroad as part of a growing visual culture surrounding the American struggle for independence.
