Raising The Liberty Pole - A Glimpse into Revolutionary New York
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 18th century, offering a vivid depiction of several incidents during the American Revolutionary period in bustling New York City. In the center foreground, we witness an iconic moment as the Sons of Liberty, fierce anti-tax guerillas, proudly raise a Liberty Pole adorned with a liberty cap. Adjacent to this symbol of freedom stands a rebel recruiters booth, boldly displaying a sign that reads "Volunteers Wanted War Liberty Rights". As our gaze shifts towards the background, we are met with scenes that further illustrate the fervor and determination of those fighting for independence. A group of insurgent militiamen march out under a striped flag while another defiantly tears down a tavern sign bearing King George III's image. In stark contrast to these acts of rebellion and defiance is an intriguing figure on the left foreground – a Loyalist citizen who turns his back in disgust at what he perceives as treason against his God-appointed king. The composition also captures various elements that bring life to this historical scene. Children play alongside their pets while men and women go about their daily activities amidst military equipment such as drums, canes, horses, wigs, and tools like ladders and shovels. This remarkable print from Fine Art Storehouse serves as both an educational tool and artistic masterpiece by Hulton Archive. It invites viewers to reflect upon one of America's defining moments – its struggle for independence – through intricate details that transport us directly into colonial society in North America during this tumultuous time.
