EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "Barbara Frietchie" by William Hatherell, a renowned artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts an illustration for John Greenleaf Whittier's poem "A Day with John Greenleaf Whittier" beautifully brought to life by May Byron in her book published around 1915. The image portrays Barbara Frietchie, an American heroine known for her courage during the Civil War. She defiantly waves the Union flag from her window as Confederate soldiers pass through Frederick, Maryland. This act of bravery symbolizes her unwavering support for the United States and opposition to secession. Hatherell's use of color lithography brings vibrancy to this historical scene, capturing every detail with precision. The composition highlights not only Barbara Frietchie but also serves as a visual representation of American patriotism and resilience during challenging times. The significance of this artwork extends beyond its artistic value; it represents a pivotal moment in American history when unity was tested amidst division. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, there are individuals who stand up for what they believe in and inspire others through their actions. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the beauty of Hatherell's work and reflect on the enduring spirit that defines America - one that transcends borders and unites people across cultures and generations.
