EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEW YORK: BARBER, c1775" takes us back to the colonial era in America. The image portrays a significant moment of resistance and patriotism during the late 18th century in New York City. In this scene, we witness an Englishman sitting in a barber's chair, clad in his smock and wig, expecting a routine shave. However, upon discovering the customer's British identity, the patriotick barber of New York refuses to continue shaving him. This act symbolizes the growing tension between American colonists and their British rulers. The cartoon-like illustration captures both humor and defiance as it showcases the determination of ordinary people to stand up for their beliefs. The mezzotint technique used adds depth and texture to every detail, making it a perfect piece for art enthusiasts seeking historical significance. Printed in England in 1775, this artwork serves as a reminder of how even seemingly mundane acts like getting a haircut could become powerful statements during times of revolution. It offers viewers an intimate glimpse into daily life within Manhattan at that time while highlighting the spirit of patriotism that fueled America's fight for independence. Whether you are interested in American history or simply appreciate artistic depictions with profound meaning, this print from Granger Art on Demand is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back to an important chapter in our nation's past.
