EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic placard posted in Boston during the intense Philips War, which took place between 1675 and 1676. The image originates from The Century Magazine's May-October 1883 edition and is an exquisite lithograph created by the American School of the 19th century. The placard itself serves as a powerful testament to the tumultuous conflict that unfolded between Native American inhabitants of New England and British colonists, along with their Native American Indian allies. Named after Wampanoag tribe chief Metacom, also known as King Philip to the British, this war was marked by fierce battles for land and power. The handwritten poster depicted in this print appeals for help in identifying traitors who may have been collaborating with the enemy forces. Its presence on the streets of Boston during such a critical period reflects both desperation and determination among those fighting against colonial oppression. As we delve into this historical artifact through Fine Art Finder's lens, we are transported back to colonial Massachusetts where tensions ran high and lives were forever changed. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our collective past - one filled with struggle, resilience, and ultimately shaping our present reality.
