INTOLERABLE ACTS, 1774 - A Mock Epitaph to Protest Colonial Oppression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a rare artifact from American history - a broadside printed in Philadelphia on May 3,1774. The document takes the form of mock epitaphs dedicated to Governor Thomas Hutchinson and Alexander Wedderburne, two figures who faced public outrage for their role in enforcing the Intolerable Acts. The image captures the essence of colonial resistance against English oppression. In an act of defiance, effigies representing Hutchinson and Wedderburne were hanged and burned in Philadelphia on that very day. This powerful visual statement reflects the anger and frustration felt by American colonists towards these men who symbolized British authority. The text on this historic broadside serves as a testament to the spirit of protest during this tumultuous period. It not only commemorates those who were involved but also highlights the significance of their actions in shaping America's fight for independence. Preserved through time, this photograph allows us to witness firsthand how our ancestors expressed dissent against injustice. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and inspired by their unwavering determination to secure liberty for future generations. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their Carousel Collection with great pride, offering us an opportunity to connect with our past while appreciating its artistic value.
