EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a crucial moment in American history - the defense of Boston during the Revolutionary War. The image showcases Fort Ticonderoga's artillery, which has been transported over the treacherous Green Mountains for this vital mission. The scene is set amidst a harsh winter landscape, with snow-covered mountains towering in the background. A team of hardworking oxen laboriously pulls the heavy cannons through this unforgiving terrain, symbolizing both the determination and hardship faced by those involved in America's fight for independence. The illustration beautifully captures the spirit of patriotism and resilience that defined this era. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by brave men like Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, who played a significant role in securing victory for their cause. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are transported back to an 18th-century battlefield where history was being written. The intricate details bring to life not only the military aspect but also provide insight into transportation methods and daily life during that time period. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into North America's past while honoring those who fought valiantly for freedom and shaped our nation's destiny.
