Battle scene in which General Richard Montgomery is shown dying in the arms of Lieut. Matthias Ogden, a volunteer, while at Montgomery’s feet lies Capt. Jacob Cheeseman and Capt. John MacPherson, both aide-de-camps to General Montgomery, who have also been killed. Among the troops in the background is “Colonel Joseph Lewis,” Chief of the Oneida Indians. Below the engraving and above the title it reads: "London Published March 1798, by A. C. de Poggi, No. 91, New Bond Street". Framed in 1¼ inch gold frame with 2 inch ivory mat. This engraving is from an oil painting by Thumbull currently hanging in the Yale University Art Gallery. It and its companion painting titled: The death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill, were done by Trumbull when he was working in Benjamin West’s studio in London in 1785 and 1786. To turn these paintings into a commercial success, Trumbull took them to Paris and arranged with Antonio de Poggi have engravings made and to publish them. Trumbull had been unsuccessful in finding English engravers, since they did not wish to lend their names to pictures of the American victory over the British. Poggi arranged for Clemens, a Danish engraver to do this work. The companion engraving of the Death of General Warren in the Battle of Bunker's Hill by Muller is catalogued P&E L2007D18 framed. Gift of the Maryland Society.
