EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to the heart of colonial America, specifically to the tumultuous period of King Philip's War in 1675-76. The title page from a book published in Boston in 1716 serves as a visual gateway into this significant chapter of American history. The intricate typography immediately catches our attention, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this piece. Each letter is meticulously engraved, reflecting the artistry and dedication of its creator. As we delve deeper into the image, we are transported to an era where print was not only informative but also a work of art. Metacom's Rebellion, also known as Metacom's War or King Philip's War, was one of the most devastating conflicts between Native Americans and English colonists. This lithograph encapsulates both sides' perspectives through its detailed engraving – a testament to how historical events were documented during this time. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder that history is not just about dates and facts; it is about people who lived through these turbulent times. It invites us to explore further and learn more about the struggles faced by both Native Americans and colonists during this pivotal moment in American history. Through its elegant composition and rich symbolism, this lithograph preserves an essential piece of our past while igniting curiosity for those seeking knowledge about colonial America.
