EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, created in 1886 by Howard Pyle and based on historical events, depicts the dramatic capture of Fort William and Mary at Portsmouth, New Hampshire in December 1774. The masterful artwork showcases Major John Sullivan, a distinguished member of the first Continental Congress and a key figure in the American Revolution. In this scene, we witness Major Sullivan leading his troop of rebellious American soldiers as they siege the English fort. The tension is palpable as these brave men fight for their freedom against British rule. The image beautifully captures the spirit of rebellion that swept across the colonies during this pivotal moment in history. The intricate details bring to life the chaos and determination present during this daring act of defiance. From every stroke of Pyle's engraving tool emerges a sense of urgency and bravery exhibited by both sides involved in this conflict. Fort William and Mary's surrender to Major Sullivan symbolizes an important victory for the colonists, fueling their desire for independence from England. This print serves as a powerful reminder of those who fought valiantly during America's struggle for liberty. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when ordinary men became heroes; when unity prevailed over oppression; when dreams were transformed into reality through unwavering courage. It stands as a testament to our nation's resilience and reminds us never to forget those who paved the way towards freedom.
