Description

This is a vintage framed print titled "Those Are Regulars, By God!", an iconic military artwork by the renowned artist H. Charles McBarron Jr.. The artwork is also commonly known as The Battle of Chippewa.

Artwork Details:

• Artist: H. Charles McBarron Jr.
• Subject: The print depicts a pivotal moment during the War of 1812, specifically the Battle of Chippewa, fought on July 5, 1814, in Upper Canada.
• Historical Significance: The title is derived from the purported quote by British Major General Phineas Riall, who, upon seeing the well-disciplined American troops advancing in grey uniforms, reportedly exclaimed, "Those are regulars, by God!". This moment shattered the myth of British military superiority in North America and restored American military pride. The grey uniforms worn by the U.S. forces in this battle eventually inspired the official dress grey of the West Point cadets.
• Series: This print is part of the official "The U.S. Army in Action" series, published by the U.S. Government Printing Office around the 1950s (likely 1953, per similar listings).
