EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking woodcut, titled "Temple of Liberty," dates back to 1834 and is an allegorical representation of the enduring principles of freedom and unity. At the center of the image, a peristyle Temple houses the figure of Liberty, who emerges from a flame, holding the Bill of Rights, a staff, and a liberty cap. The altar bears the inscription "Preserved by Concord," symbolizing the importance of harmony and agreement in safeguarding liberty. To the left, a man with a horse offers wheat, representing the agricultural abundance of the land. In contrast, an Indian figure on the right presents a buck deer and an animal pelt, emphasizing the natural resources that the continent had to offer. The thirteen stars above the temple pay homage to the original colonies. Behind the temple, an eagle with a shield, olive branch, and lightning bolts soars, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the nation. The eagle holds a banner with the slogan "The Union Must and Shall Be Preserved," reaffirming the commitment to the unity of the states. Two pedestals, one bearing the figure of Justice and the other Minerva, flank the image. These personifications of justice and wisdom underscore the importance of upholding fairness and knowledge in the pursuit of liberty. This powerful and evocative woodcut serves as a testament to the enduring values that shaped the American identity during the early 19th century.
