EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WAR OF 1812: BROADSIDE" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases an American broadside, printed in Boston, Massachusetts, shortly after the British captured Washington, D. C. on August 24th, 1814 during the War of 1812. This unique artifact reports the news of this event through a combination of verse and commentary. The print transports us to an era where newspapers were scarce and information was disseminated through handwritten or printed materials like this broadside. The woodcut typeface used adds authenticity to its early origins. As we delve into the details of this historic piece, we can't help but notice the burning destruction depicted in the background - a visual representation of Washington's fate at that time. The poem-like lyrics accompanying the news provide a glimpse into how people expressed their emotions and opinions during those tumultuous times. Through this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of America's resilience and determination even in moments of adversity. It serves as both a reminder of our past struggles and triumphs while also highlighting the power that art has in preserving historical events for future generations to learn from.
