EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print showcases the magnificent American frigate Alliance, a vessel that played a significant role in history. Built in Salisbury, Massachusetts in 1778, this ship holds great importance as it carried the esteemed Marquis de Lafayette on two momentous occasions. As depicted in this vintage illustration from the 19th century, the Alliance sailed across the vast Atlantic Ocean with elegance and power. Its sturdy structure and impressive sails symbolize both strength and grace. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of maritime travel during the 18th century. The historical context surrounding this image is equally compelling. The year 1778 marked a crucial period during which America fought for its independence from British rule. The French Revolution was also underway, further shaping global politics at that time. The presence of Lafayette aboard this frigate adds another layer of significance to this print. As an influential figure in both American and French history, Lafayette's involvement underscores the alliance between these nations during their shared struggle for freedom. Through artful strokes and vibrant colors, this woodcut transports us back to an era when naval ships were instrumental in shaping North America's destiny. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and pays homage to those who fought valiantly for liberty on land and sea alike.
