EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Arrest of William Franklin" takes us back in time to a crucial moment in American history. The illustration, originally featured in Cassells History of the United States published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin around 1900, showcases the dramatic scene of William Franklin's arrest. In this historic depiction, we witness an array of vividly detailed costumes worn by military personnel and lawyers involved in this significant event. As tension fills the air, uniforms symbolize both power and authority while emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The setting is Canada during a period when America was fighting for its independence. This image serves as a reminder that even across borders, patriotism knows no bounds. It captures not only the struggle for freedom but also highlights how interconnected North America has always been. The engraving skillfully portrays President Franklin's son being apprehended by Canadian authorities. Through this arresting visual narrative, we are transported to an era where political turmoil shaped nations and individuals alike. Preserved within private collections today, this out-of-copyright artwork allows us to delve into our shared past as it sheds light on one man's role amidst a revolution that would forever change the course of history on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
