EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "EXCISE: TAR & FEATHER, 1794" takes us back to a significant moment in American history during the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794. The engraving, created in the 19th century, vividly depicts an act of cruelty and resistance against an excise officer. In this scene, we witness the shocking practice of tarring and feathering being carried out on an unfortunate excise officer. The image captures the intense emotions that fueled this rebellion against the whiskey tax imposed by the government. Flames dance in the background as a symbol of defiance and rebellion. The artist's attention to detail brings forth both horror and fascination. We can almost feel the pain inflicted upon this individual as tar is poured over their body while feathers cling mercilessly to their skin. This act was meant not only to humiliate but also to send a clear message about resisting unjust taxation. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded of America's struggle for freedom and its citizens' determination to fight against oppressive policies. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have been willing to endure great suffering for what they believe is right. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artifact so that future generations can reflect upon it with awe and reverence.
