EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1894 showcases the esteemed figure of Francis Scott Key, an American lawyer and writer who penned the iconic national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. With a distinguished aura surrounding him, Key's likeness is captured in intricate detail through this print. Key was born in 1779 and lived until 1843, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to resonate with Americans today. As an attorney, he played a significant role in shaping the legal landscape of his time. However, it was his poetic prowess that truly immortalized him in history. The Star Spangled Banner, written during the War of 1812 as Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British forces, became synonymous with American patriotism and resilience. This powerful anthem has since become deeply ingrained within the nation's fabric. In this evocative engraving, we see Key depicted against a backdrop of Old Glory – our beloved flag – symbolizing both his love for America and his contribution to its identity. His presence exudes strength and determination as he stands tall among other influential men of his era. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Francis Scott Key's remarkable achievements but also how music can unite us all under one banner - our shared heritage as proud citizens of America.
