EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Boycott: Peggy Stewart. In this powerful image, colonial patriots take a stand against British oppression by burning the tea ship Peggy Stewart, which had docked at Annapolis, Maryland. The event took place on 19 October 1774 and was a direct response to the Boston Tea Party. Painted by Francis Blackwell Mayer in 1896, this artwork beautifully portrays the fiery scene that unfolded during this act of defiance. The brigantine ship is engulfed in flames as protesters brandish torches with determination and conviction. It serves as a visual testament to the unwavering spirit of these colonists who refused to bow down to unjust British policies. The boycott established after the Boston Tea Party was meant to send a clear message - that American colonists would no longer tolerate unfair taxation and oppressive measures imposed upon them by their British rulers. This painting immortalizes an important chapter in our nation's fight for independence. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by those early patriots who risked everything for freedom. Their actions paved the way for future generations and laid the foundation for what would become one of history's greatest nations. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of fine art as it symbolizes not only an act of protest but also celebrates our collective heritage as Americans standing up against injustice.
