EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the protest against the Stamp Act in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1765. The image showcases a powerful scene of defiance as the Sons of Liberty march through the streets with an effigy of a stamp master. The wood engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully conveys the intensity and passion of this historic event. The torches held by protesters illuminate their determined faces, while casting eerie shadows on nearby buildings. It is a night-time scene that symbolizes both resistance and unity. In this snapshot from colonial America, we witness ordinary colonists transforming into patriotic activists fighting against unjust taxation imposed by British authorities. The Stamp Act was an excise tax levied on all printed materials within the colonies, causing widespread outrage among Americans who believed it violated their rights as English subjects. The presence of a mob further emphasizes the fervor surrounding this protest. As tensions rise between colony and crown, these brave individuals take to the streets to voice their opposition to oppressive policies. This Granger Collection print serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history and highlights how acts of civil disobedience can shape society for generations to come.
