EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created in 1876 by Currier & Ives, depicts the legendary American Revolutionary heroine originally known as Mary McCauley. Renowned for her bravery and unwavering spirit, she is famously remembered as Molly Pitcher. The lithograph showcases a pivotal moment during the Battle of Monmouth in the late 18th century. In this scene, Molly Pitcher stands tall amidst the chaos of war, surrounded by cannons and artillerymen. Her determined gaze reflects her commitment to fighting for America's freedom. With cannon smoke billowing around her, she symbolizes resilience and defiance against tyranny. Molly Pitcher's true identity was Nathaniel Merritt's wife who took over his position as an artilleryman when he fell wounded on the battlefield. She fearlessly stepped forward to load and fire cannons with precision while enduring enemy fire herself. Currier & Ives skillfully captured this iconic figure in American history through their detailed lithography techniques. The lithograph serves as a powerful tribute to all women who played significant roles during times of rebellion and revolution. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery of Currier & Ives and the indomitable spirit embodied by Molly Pitcher. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, women like Mary McCauley have made invaluable contributions to shaping America into what it is today – a land built upon courage, determination, and unwavering patriotism.
