EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Salem Mechanick Light Infantry Quick Step," was created by the renowned American artist Fitz Hugh Lane in 1836. The image showcases the Salem Mechanic Light Infantry, a military organization based in Salem, Massachusetts, during the 19th century. The Quick Step was a popular dance move of the time, and the infantry members are depicted in the midst of performing this dance, adding an element of levity and camaraderie to their military image. The intricately detailed lithograph, which measures 13.2 x 19.3 inches and is printed on cream wove paper, was produced by Nathaniel Rogers Lane using the lithotint process. The technique allowed for a high level of detail and tonal range, resulting in a stunning visual representation of the scene. The Salem Mechanic Light Infantry was a part of the local militia, which played an important role in the defense of the community during times of conflict. The infantry members are depicted in their uniforms, complete with muskets and accoutrements, adding to the historical significance of the image. The lithograph provides a unique glimpse into the culture and heritage of the United States during the 19th century. It is a valuable document of the time, illustrating the importance of military organizations, community spirit, and the arts in American society. The Salem Mechanic Light Infantry Quick Step is an essential addition to any collection of American art, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the United States.
