This print showcases an invaluable piece of history, the EVRV2A-00130 handbill, which played a significant role in shaping the American Revolution. The woodcut reproduction with watercolor wash beautifully captures the essence of this vintage artifact that originated in Boston before the Revolutionary War. The image transports us back to 18th century Massachusetts, where passionate colonists united under the Sons of Liberty banner.

As we delve into this historic document, we witness a pivotal moment in American commerce and trade. The handbill boldly proclaims a boycott on British goods, reflecting both economic consequences and political defiance. Its distribution throughout Boston acted as a catalyst for mass protest and ignited revolutionary sentiments among colonists. With its intricate details and profound symbolism, this leaflet-turned-broadside serves as tangible evidence of early colonial resistance against oppressive rule. It encapsulates the spirit of rebellion that ultimately led to one of history's most transformative events – the American Revolution. Through studying artifacts like EVRV2A-00130, we gain deeper insights into our nation's past struggles for freedom and independence.
