EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the armed escort for the stamped paper in New York, 1765. The image depicts soldiers from the British army, their rifles at the ready, guarding the London-produced stamped paper that was required by the Stamp Act of 1765. This act imposed a direct tax on the American colonies by the British government and sparked fierce resistance among colonists. The illustration, taken from Cassell's History of England vol. iv, published by Cassell & Co Ltd. , offers a glimpse into this tumultuous period. It showcases not only the military presence but also highlights the tension between Britain and its American colonies during this time. Intriguingly detailed and evocative, this 19th-century drawing transports us back to an era when America was still under British rule. It serves as a powerful reminder of how taxation without representation ignited sentiments of rebellion among Americans and ultimately led to their fight for independence. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of both our shared past with Britain and our distinct journey towards becoming an independent nation - one that would shape North America's destiny forever.
