EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "EVRV2A-00054" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a handbill that served as a warning to Boston patriots against purchasing tea on December 2,1773. With its watercolor wash and woodcut reproduction, the print beautifully captures the essence of this historic document. In the heart of colonial Massachusetts, this announcement played a crucial role in igniting the flames of revolution. It symbolizes the resistance and opposition faced by colonists during an era marked by heavy taxation imposed upon them by British rule. This artifact stands as a testament to their determination and willingness to fight for their rights. The handbill itself serves as both notice and protest—a call for unity among fellow colonists who sought to resist unjust taxes levied upon imported goods such as tea. Its presence reminds us of the pivotal event known as the Boston Tea Party—an act of defiance that would ultimately shape America's path towards independence. As we gaze upon this vintage piece from North Wind Picture Archives, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an atmosphere charged with revolutionary fervor. It is through artifacts like these that we can truly appreciate our nation's rich history and honor those brave souls who fought tirelessly for freedom during one of America's most transformative periods—the Revolutionary War era.
