EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Boston and Bunker Hill, 1781" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by an anonymous artist from the 18th century, this print captures the aftermath of the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War. The scene depicts a bird's-eye view of Boston and its surroundings. The Charles River gracefully winds through the city as smoke billows from Charlestown in flames. This haunting image serves as a reminder of the British victory at Bunker Hill on June 17,1775. However, despite their triumph, they ultimately failed to break the siege of Boston. The attention to detail is remarkable in this lithograph; every street and building is meticulously mapped out. It offers viewers a glimpse into what life was like during this tumultuous time in American history. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to that era when America fought for its independence. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought for freedom against all odds. This print is part of Peter Newark American Pictures' private collection and remains out of copyright today. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to preserve our collective memory of one of America's most defining moments – the struggle for liberty during the Revolutionary War.
