EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Independence of the United States, 1786" by L Roger is a remarkable French allegory that commemorates the profound friendship between France and the United States during their struggle for independence. The artwork pays tribute to France's crucial assistance in supporting America's fight for freedom. The print features prominent portraits of three influential figures who played pivotal roles in this historic alliance: Louis XVI of France, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington. These visionary leaders are depicted with great detail, showcasing their significance in shaping the destiny of two nations. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this significant period through powerful symbolism. A majestic eagle soars above a sailing ship, symbolizing liberty and strength. Anchors represent stability and security while birds signify peace and harmony. With vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, L Roger transports us back to the 18th century when these events unfolded. This lithograph from the Historica Graphica Collection serves as a visual reminder of how political alliances can shape history. As we admire this extraordinary piece, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence and recognize the enduring bond between France and America that continues to thrive today.
