EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tocsin of Liberty-Rung by the State House Bell, (Independence Hall) Philadelphia captures a pivotal moment in American history. This hand-coloured lithograph, created by renowned artists Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives in the 19th century, commemorates the iconic event that took place on July 4th, 1776. In this image, we see a crowd gathered around Independence Hall as a brave individual pulls the rope to ring the Liberty Bell. The bell's inscription from Leviticus XXV:10 - 'Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all inhabitants thereof' - serves as a powerful reminder of America's commitment to freedom. The lithotint technique used by Currier and Ives adds depth and vibrancy to every detail captured in this print. The bustling background showcases men and women from diverse backgrounds coming together to celebrate their country's independence. Their cheers echo through time, symbolizing unity and patriotism. This artwork not only pays homage to one of America's most cherished symbols – the Liberty Bell – but also highlights Philadelphia's significance as the birthplace of American democracy. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are transported back to that fateful day when our nation declared its independence from British rule. Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives have masterfully preserved this important moment in our heritage with their exceptional printing skills. Through their artistry, they invite us to reflect on our shared past and be inspired by those who fought for liberty.
