EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "HARTFORD CONVENTION, 1815. The Hartford Convention, or Leap No Leap" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by William Charles in 1815, this cartoon offers a satirical portrayal of the controversial Hartford Convention. Depicting three New England states plotting their next move, the image humorously suggests that they are considering jumping into the arms of King George III of Great Britain. This playful representation captures the tension and uncertainty surrounding political actions during this time. Notably, Timothy Pickering can be seen underneath a ledge in prayerful contemplation. He hopes for recognition from Great Britain as Lord of Essex – an ironic nod to his loyalty towards British interests. Through its clever imagery and subtle symbolism, this artwork sheds light on the complex dynamics between America and Great Britain during the early years of our nation's history. It serves as a reminder that political decisions have far-reaching consequences and can shape alliances both domestically and internationally. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to an era where political intrigue was rife and choices had profound implications for our young nation's future.
