EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history, showcasing the intense emotions that surrounded Benedict Arnold's shocking act of treason during the Revolutionary War. The hand-colored woodcut, based on a 19th-century illustration, transports us back to New York in 1780. In this scene, an angry procession of Americans takes to the streets, parading through the city with fury burning in their eyes. They have constructed an effigy of Benedict Arnold and set it ablaze as a symbol of their outrage and betrayal. The atmosphere is electric with tension as citizens unite against this once-revered general turned traitor. The image reveals not only the public's anger but also their determination to stand up for what they believe in. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst chaos and division, patriotism can prevail. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom during these tumultuous times. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this hand-colored woodcut brings to life an important chapter in North America's struggle for independence. It immortalizes both Benedict Arnold's treachery and the resilience of those who refused to let his actions define them or dampen their revolutionary spirit.
