EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the formation of The Sons of Liberty, a clandestine movement established in 1765 to defy British taxes. Created by the American School in the 18th century, this lithograph is now part of a private collection. The image depicts William Jackson, an importer, standing at the Brazen Head on Corn-hill in Boston. In his hand is a notice urging fellow patriots to boycott his business and refrain from purchasing anything from him. This act serves as both denouncement and defiance against British rule. The Sons and Daughters of Liberty are called upon not only to abstain from buying goods but also warned that doing so would bring everlasting disgrace upon themselves and future generations. The poster's powerful message resonates with their commitment to fight for freedom and independence. This print encapsulates the spirit of resistance during the American Revolutionary War, showcasing how ordinary colonists came together under a secret society united against oppressive taxation. It symbolizes their determination to challenge authority and lays the foundation for what would become one of history's most significant revolutions. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice that shaped our nation's identity. It stands as a testament to those who fought tirelessly for liberty, inspiring us today to cherish our hard-won freedoms bestowed by these courageous individuals centuries ago.
