Fort Edward held strategic importance during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution, but by the time Wall painted Fort Edward its military function had ceased.
Irish-born artist W.G. Hall spent the summer of 1820 traversing 212 miles of the Hudson River's 315-mile course. 20 plates were engraved as aquatints by master printer John Hill and published between 1821 and 1825 by Henry Megarey in New York.
