EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the silver mace used in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1640 to 1770. The mace, featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume" symbolizes the power and authority held by this governing body during colonial times. The image captures a close-up view of the intricately designed mace, highlighting its decorative details and craftsmanship. Standing against a white background, it exudes elegance and significance. Its presence evokes thoughts of ceremony and official proceedings that took place within the walls of Richmond, Virginia. Although created by an unknown artist, this photograph immortalizes an object that played a crucial role in shaping early American history. As we gaze upon this antique artifact today, we are reminded of our nation's roots and the struggles faced by those who fought for independence. While commercial use is not mentioned here, it is important to appreciate this print as more than just a commodity. It serves as a visual reminder of our past - one that should be cherished and studied for generations to come.
