EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled EVRV2A-00108, takes us back to a defining moment in American history - the Battle of Lexington, which marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War in 1775. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully captures a scene from the 19th century illustration, transporting us to that pivotal time. In this historic image, we see a group of Minute Men departing for battle. These brave soldiers were ordinary citizens who took up arms to defend their rights and liberties against British rule. Clad in colonial attire and armed with muskets, they stand resolute as they prepare to face an uncertain future. What makes this picture truly remarkable is its inclusion of an American family amidst the chaos of war. A woman holds her child close while witnessing her husband's departure into conflict. This poignant portrayal reminds us that behind every soldier stood loved ones who shared their sacrifice and supported them through tumultuous times. The artwork not only depicts a significant event but also serves as a visual testament to the spirit of rebellion and resilience that defined America's fight for independence. It transports us back to New England during the 1700s when colonists united against oppression and ignited an uprising that would shape the course of history. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are reminded of our nation's roots and how far we have come since those revolutionary days. It stands as both a tribute to those who fought for freedom and an enduring symbol of patriotism for generations to come.
