EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures a historic moment in American history, depicting Benjamin Franklin directing the construction of a stockade fort. The image is based on a mural painting by Charles E. Mills at the renowned Franklin Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. In this scene, we see Franklin standing tall amidst the bustling activity of men working diligently to build the fortification. Holding a rifle and pushing logs into place, he embodies determination and leadership during the American Revolution. The wood and weapon symbolize both the physical labor required for construction and the military conflict that was taking place. The composition is rich with detail, showcasing architectural elements of the fort as well as textural variations in clothing worn by individuals involved in its creation. This print serves as a visual testament to an important historical event that shaped North America's future. With its decorative border and English text, this postcard was likely produced by Detroit Publishing Company or another commercial art and graphic design firm during 1915-1925. It falls within an American period or style characterized by color prints and reflects United States' historical events from 1776 to 1783. As we admire this piece of artwork, let us appreciate Benjamin Franklin's significant role in shaping our nation's history through his intellect, diplomacy, and unwavering dedication to freedom during times of civil conflict.
