America. To those, who wish to sheathe the desolating sword
America. To those, who wish to sheathe the desolating sword of war. And, to restore the blessings of peace and amity, to a divided people. Print shows an allegory of the restoration of peace and prosperity to America following the Revolution. The print is based on a 1778 painting by British artist Robert Edge Pine, which was destroyed by fire in 1803. It was one of several antimonarchial works painted by Pine during the Revolution. A 1784 catalog of a Philadelphia exhibition of Pines painting describes it as follows: A picture painted in the year 1778, representing the following Allegory: America, after having suffered the several evils of war, bewailed its unhappy cause, and lamented over the victims of its fury--her ruined towns--destroy d commerce, &c. &c. On the appearance of Peace, is represented an extacy of gratitude to the Almighty--Heroic Virtue presents Liberty attended by Concord--Industry, followed by Plenty and her Train, form a group expressive of Population; and Ships denote Commerce. America, on the left, is a bejeweled Indian Queen robed in furs. Above her, the figure of Peace, holding an olive branch, appears from the clouds. Heroic Virtue (center) is represented by Hercules; Concord holds bundled fasces, Industry a beehive, and Plenty a cornucopia. Date 1781. America.

America's Renewal - A Vision of Peace and Prosperity
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print is a testament to the resilience and hope of the American people during a time of great turmoil and division. The image, inspired by a 1778 painting by British artist Robert Edge Pine, depicts the allegory of America's restoration of peace and prosperity following the Revolution. The scene unfolds with a desolate America, represented as an Indian queen in furs, mourning the devastation of war. Ruined towns and commerce lay in its wake. But as the clouds part, the figure of Peace emerges, offering an olive branch. Heroic Virtue, embodied by Hercules, stands in the center, surrounded by Concord, Industry, and Plenty. Concord holds fasces bundled together, symbolizing unity, while Industry represents hard work and determination, and Plenty brings forth a cornucopia of abundance. This powerful allegory, destroyed by fire in 1803, was one of several antimonarchial works painted by Pine during the Revolution. The 1784 catalog of a Philadelphia exhibition described the painting as "America, after having suffered the several evils of war, bewailed its unhappy cause, and lamented over the victims of its fury--her ruined towns--destroyed commerce, &c. &c." To those who yearn for an end to conflict and the return of peace and amity, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the potential for renewal and prosperity that lies within the American spirit.
