EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the cartouche symbolizing the Commonwealth of Virginia from Boyd's map of Virginia in 1826. The intricate engraving depicts an early representation of the state, with its rich symbolism and profound significance. The cartouche itself is a testament to Virginia's status as one of America's oldest and most influential states. Its regal design evokes images of royalty, reminding us that even in the New World, power and authority were deeply ingrained concepts. The inclusion of Liberty holding her staff further emphasizes Virginia's commitment to freedom and independence. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to a time when maps were not just navigational tools but also works of art. Every detail was carefully crafted by skilled hands, capturing both geographical accuracy and artistic expression. Virginia's motto "Sic Semper Tyrannis" boldly adorns the cartouche, serving as a reminder that Virginians have long been champions for liberty and justice. This powerful phrase translates to "Thus Always to Tyrants" reflecting their unwavering resistance against oppressive rule. With its historical significance and exquisite craftsmanship, this print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate the beauty found within our nation's past. It serves as a timeless tribute to Virginia’s enduring legacy as an integral part of America’s story.
