EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph by Percy Moran, we are transported back to the year 1776, amidst the chaos of the Revolutionary War. The focal point of the image is Mrs. Mary Lindley Murray, a prominent Quaker woman known for her hospitality and compassion. As British soldiers fill her grand mansion in Manhattan, Mrs. Murray fearlessly takes on the role of entertainer. With grace and charm, she engages these red-coated men in conversation and serves them tea. Little do they know that behind this seemingly innocent act lies a brilliant plan. Unbeknownst to the British Army, General Israel Putnam and his American troops are taking advantage of Mrs. Murray's distraction to make their daring escape from capture. As they slip away into the late September night under cover of darkness, Mrs. Murray's selfless actions have allowed them to evade their pursuers and continue fighting for independence. This lithograph beautifully captures both the tension and bravery that defined this pivotal moment in history. It serves as a testament to individuals like Mary Lindley Murray who risked everything for freedom during those tumultuous times. Granger Art on Demand presents us with an opportunity to appreciate not only historical events but also remarkable acts of heroism through art prints like "MRS MURRAY 1776". This particular piece transports us back in time while reminding us of our shared human spirit - one that can overcome even seemingly insurmountable odds when driven by courage and determination.
