EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "He stops at the Sign of the Weathervane" by Howard Pyle takes us back to a significant moment during the American Revolutionary War. The print depicts Tench Tilghman, an important figure in American history, pausing his journey at an inn adorned with a weather vane. Set in the 18th century, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of travel and exploration during that time. As Tilghman rides through Yorktown in 1781, he halts his horse to rest and seek shelter at this particular establishment. The sign of the weathervane serves as a symbolic landmark amidst his arduous ride. This piece not only showcases Tilghman's determination but also highlights America's struggle for independence from British rule. It transports us to a pivotal period where brave individuals like him played crucial roles in shaping the destiny of their nation. Through intricate details and masterful technique, Pyle brings history alive on paper. His work invites viewers to imagine themselves alongside Tilghman on his journey across war-torn landscapes. This engraving is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Look and Learn / Rosenberg Collection. "He stops at the Sign of the Weathervane" encapsulates both artistry and historical significance, reminding us of our shared past while inspiring admiration for those who fought for freedom in early America.
