EDITORS COMMENTS
This photochrom print depicts The Minute Man statue, located in Concord, Massachusetts, USA, around the turn of the 20th century. The Minute Man, a symbol of the American Revolution and the courage of the colonial militia, stands proudly on a grassy hill overlooking a serene landscape. The inscription on the statue's base reads, "By the rude bridge that arched the flood / Their flag to April's breeze unfurled / Here once the embattled farmers stood / And fired the shot." This poetic tribute, penned by Ralph Waldo Emerson, encapsulates the spirit of the Battle of Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, which marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. The Minute Man statue, erected in 1875, serves as a poignant reminder of the brave men who answered the call to defend their homes and country against British tyranny. The Minute Man statue, a cherished piece of American heritage art, is a must-see attraction for history enthusiasts and tourists alike. It stands proudly as a national historic site, preserving the memory of a pivotal moment in American history. This photomechanical print, produced by Detroit Publishing Company, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the spirit of rebellion and determination shaped the course of a nation.
