EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Howard Pyle takes us back to the autumn of 1776, where we find Benjamin Franklin on a diplomatic mission aboard the U. S. S. Reprisal. Known for his multifaceted talents as an American printer, publisher, scientist, inventor, statesman, and diplomat, Franklin's presence on this sailing ship signifies his important role in shaping history. The image showcases Franklin standing confidently on the deck of the ship amidst a late afternoon breeze. Dressed in colonial attire with a tricorn hat atop his head and a coat billowing behind him, he exudes authority and elegance. His hand rests gracefully upon a cane while his other arm holds onto the rigging nearby. Surrounded by members of the crew who are diligently attending to their duties, Franklin stands out as both an esteemed passenger and respected figurehead. A sword hangs at his side symbolizing strength and protection during these turbulent times. As one of America's founding fathers during the American Revolution era, Franklin embarked on this journey to France with hopes of securing support for their cause against British rule. This illustration beautifully captures not only his physical presence but also represents the spirit of determination that characterized this pivotal moment in history. Howard Pyle's meticulous attention to detail brings life to this historical scene while reminding us of Benjamin Franklin's significant contributions towards building a new nation based on principles of freedom and independence.
