"Raising the liberty pole," 1776 / painted by F.A. Chapman ; engraved by John C. McRae, N.Y. Created c1875.

Done as a centennial piece to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the United States of America. Print shows the raising of a liberty pole in a village center on a festive occasion with many spectators, some appear to be disgruntled loyalists; in the background, several men are removing a sign bearing the likeness of King George III. We also see the presence of the Sons of Liberty in the back right cheering on the event. In the forefront is a stand where men are signing up to join the army.

Make a statement in any room with this framed print remastered from the original at the Library of Congress, printed on thick, durable, matte paper. The matte black frame that's made from wood from renewable forests adds an extra touch of class.

These prints are reproductions of the 1875 McRae engraving. While we have taken great pains to clean up the original from the Library of Congress, there will be some slight imperfections.
