EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the Gunpowder Seizure of 1774. In this wood engraving, created by Howard Pyle in 1886, we witness members of Major John Sullivan's raiding party as they navigate the snowy terrain of New Hampshire while transporting kegs of gunpowder seized from Fort William and Mary at Portsmouth. The scene is filled with action and determination as these brave soldiers trudge through the winter landscape. Clad in heavy coats and armed with rifles and muskets, they carry their precious cargo on their shoulders, fully aware that it symbolizes rebellion against British rule. Pyle's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The snow-covered ground contrasts starkly with the dark uniforms worn by these men who are fighting for freedom. Their determined expressions reveal both the hardships they face and their unwavering commitment to the cause. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during America's fight for independence. It captures not only a pivotal moment but also embodies the spirit of resilience that defined those involved in the Revolutionary War. As we gaze upon this remarkable wood engraving, we can't help but feel gratitude towards those who fought bravely for our nation's liberty over two centuries ago.
