EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "EVRV2A-00163" transports us back to the historic Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. Hand-colored and based on a 19th-century F. C. Yohn illustration, it vividly captures the essence of this crucial moment in American history. In the image, we see Colonel William Prescott taking command of the American Minutemen as they valiantly defend their position against British forces. The scene is set amidst a trench on Breed's Hill in Massachusetts, where colonial colonists stood united in revolt and rebellion against oppressive rule. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of color brings life to this vintage artwork. It beautifully portrays the determination etched on each colonist's face as they dig deep into their entrenchments, ready to defend their rights and freedom at any cost. This woodcut print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's revolutionary past—a time when ordinary men became heroes overnight, fighting for liberty and justice. It symbolizes the birth of an independent United States that would shape North America's future. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to that fateful day in Charles Town (now Charleston), where bravery clashed with tyranny. Let us honor those who fought bravely during the Battle of Bunker Hill—their sacrifice paved the way for generations to come.
