EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Battle of Bunker Hill, 1775. The engraving showcases the intense and dramatic scene where Peter Salem, an African American soldier, bravely shoots British Marine Major John Pitcairn. Taking place on June 17th, 1775, this battle was a significant event during the American Revolution. As tensions escalated between the British troops and colonial forces, it became clear that a clash was inevitable. In this image, we witness Peter Salem's heroic act as he aims his rifle at Major Pitcairn. The composition of the engraving is strikingly powerful; it conveys both the chaos and determination present on that fateful day. The artist has skillfully captured every detail - from Salem's resolute expression to Pitcairn's shocked reaction upon being hit. Notably, this image highlights an often overlooked aspect of history: the contributions made by African Americans during times of conflict. Peter Salem's bravery serves as a reminder that people from all walks of life fought for freedom and independence. This print is a testament to courage and sacrifice in one of America's most defining moments. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared past while honoring those who played crucial roles in shaping our nation's destiny.
