EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AMERICAN REVOLUTION, c1775. The Vision" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Engraved by Elkanah Tisdale in 1795 for John Trumbull's epic poem, M Fingal, this artwork encapsulates the spirit and turmoil of the American Revolution. The image portrays a haunting scene set against the backdrop of an exterior battle. In the midst of smoke and revolutionary chaos, we witness a loyalist being tarred and feathered as punishment for their allegiance to Britain. A gallows looms ominously nearby, symbolizing the consequences faced by those who opposed the revolutionaries' cause. Underneath this distressing spectacle stands a ladder leading up to a window where figures can be seen observing with regretful expressions on their faces. This visual metaphor suggests that even within the ranks of those fighting for independence, there were individuals who questioned or felt remorse about certain actions taken during this tumultuous period. The night setting adds an air of mystery and secrecy to the scene, emphasizing both the clandestine nature of some revolutionary activities and highlighting how these events unfolded under cover of darkness. Granger Art on Demand has expertly captured this historic moment through Granger NYC / The Granger Collection's high-quality printing techniques. This print serves as a powerful reminder of America's struggle for freedom and invites viewers to reflect upon its complexities and sacrifices made during that time.
