EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century line engraving transports us back to the historic Battle of Concord in 1775. The print captures the intense fighting at Merriams Corner, located on the Lexington Road, on that fateful day - April 19th. The scene depicts a chaotic clash between American colonial troops and English soldiers amidst an idyllic countryside setting. A dilapidated house stands stoically in the background as smoke billows from musket fire and cannon blasts fill the air. Troops from both sides engage fiercely along a dirt road, their determination etched onto their faces. The architecture of this era is showcased through quaint colonial houses dotting the landscape, serving as silent witnesses to this pivotal moment in history. The image encapsulates not only a battle but also symbolizes the birth of a revolution. Intriguingly, this print focuses on individual militiamen rather than any specific company or regiment involved in the conflict. It highlights ordinary men who became known as "minute men" for their readiness to defend against British forces at a minute's notice. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of how these brave individuals fought valiantly for liberty and independence during one of America's most significant chapters - The American Revolution.
