EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the second page of the Boston Evening Post announcing the death of King George II. The image, created by an anonymous American artist from the 18th century, showcases a broadsheet newspaper with a bold headline and intricate details. The announcement, dated 5th January 1761, reveals that King George II passed away on 25th October 1760 and was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. This excerpt is taken from the London Gazette, adding credibility to this historical document. The print showcases columns filled with text, diagrams, and even a crest representing royalty. It serves as a reminder of Britain's influence over its colonies during this Georgian era. As we delve into this piece of colonial America's past, it becomes evident that newspapers played an essential role in disseminating news across continents. This particular publication would have been eagerly read by residents of Massachusetts who were keen to stay informed about events happening across the Atlantic Ocean. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this print offers us a glimpse into how news was shared during those times. Its inclusion within Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. Let this image transport you back to an era where printed words held immense power and shaped public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
