EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Molly Pitcher, also known as Mary McCauley, an American Revolutionary heroine. The illustration by Percy Moran in 1911 depicts a pivotal moment during the Battle of Monmouth on June 28,1778. In this scene of intense warfare, Molly Pitcher stands out amidst the chaos with her unwavering bravery. Dressed in traditional attire, she is seen near a cannon on the battlefield. With determination etched across her face, she fearlessly tends to her duties as an artilleryman. A bucket lies nearby, symbolizing her iconic act of heroism - when her husband fell wounded or exhausted from heatstroke, Molly took his place at the cannon without hesitation. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life; fallen soldiers lie scattered across the ground while smoke billows from cannons in the distance. Through Moran's skilled engraving technique and careful shading, he captures both the grittiness and patriotism that defined this era. Molly Pitcher's story resonates even today as a testament to women's strength and resilience during times of war. Her actions exemplify how ordinary individuals can rise above adversity to become extraordinary heroes. This remarkable print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's history and honors those who fought for freedom during one of America's most defining moments – not just men but also courageous women like Molly Pitcher.
