EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1879 after Howard Pyle's original work, transports us back to the year 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. The scene depicts a bustling street in New London, Connecticut, where American privateers have gathered outside a recruiting office. These brave men and women are eagerly signing up to join the Continental Army and Navy, ready to fight for their newfound independence. The print showcases a diverse group of individuals donning tricorn hats and eye patches, symbolizing their adventurous spirit as they prepare for battle on land and sea. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these patriots gather together under the watchful eye of Howard Pyle's masterful depiction. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness the determination etched on each face as they answer the call to defend their nation against British oppression. The image captures not only the courage of those who fought but also highlights the significant role played by privateers in securing victory for America. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of our forefathers' unwavering commitment to freedom and how their sacrifices paved the way for future generations. This print serves as a powerful testament to both our nation's rich history and its enduring spirit of resilience.
