EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in New York's colonial history - the infamous riot of 1766. In this chaotic scene, tensions between New Yorkers and British soldiers reach a boiling point as citizens fiercely defend their rights against oppressive English rule. The focal point of the image is a Liberty Pole, symbolizing American freedom and independence, which had been cut down by the redcoats. Undeterred by this act of aggression, defiant Americans rallied together to restore the pole - an act that would not go unanswered. As depicted in this wood engraving from the 19th century after Felix O. C. Darley's original artwork, chaos erupts on the streets of Manhattan. Men donning tricorn hats engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with British soldiers clad in their iconic red coats. The air is thick with tension and patriotic fervor as colonists stand united against tyranny. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of America's unwavering spirit and determination to fight for its liberties during times of oppression. It also sheds light on one of many significant events leading up to the American Revolution. Through Octavio Carr's lens, we witness ordinary citizens transformed into heroes fighting for their rights amidst a backdrop of historical significance. This print encapsulates both the struggle and resilience that define New York City's rich colonial past while honoring those who paved the way for future generations' freedoms.
