EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American history. The artist, Hooper, skillfully depicts the Marquis de Lafayette laying the cornerstone of the iconic Bunker Hill monument in 1825. This monumental structure stands as a commemoration of the historic Battle of Bunker Hill fought during the American Revolutionary War. Lafayette's presence at this ceremony holds great significance, as he fought alongside American forces during their struggle for independence from Britain. As a French general and commander, his support played an instrumental role in America's victory. The image showcases Lafayette surrounded by men dressed in military attire, symbolizing unity and patriotism. The architectural grandeur of Boston's skyline serves as a backdrop to this solemn event. Through this powerful engraving by Edmund Ollier, we are transported back to a time when rebellion filled the air and soldiers fought valiantly for freedom. It is a testament to both Lafayette's unwavering dedication to liberty and America's enduring spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Cassells History of the United States, it reminds us that history is not merely confined within textbooks but can be vividly brought to life through visual representations like these prints.
