EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Portuguese swivel gun dating back to the 17th century. The image captures an awe-inspiring artillery demonstration at Yorktown Battlefield, Virginia, where history comes alive. This vintage weapon stands as a testament to American military innovation and the colonial era. The Portuguese swivel gun, with its traditional design and historic significance, represents a pivotal moment in technology during the 1600s. Its presence on North American soil highlights the global influence of Portugal's naval prowess during that time. Preserved by the National Park Service, this artifact serves as a tangible link to our past. It symbolizes the rich history of warfare in America and offers visitors an opportunity to delve into living history. In this photograph taken by Nancy Carter from North Wind Picture Archives, we witness the power and elegance of this black powder cannon in action. The smoke billows around it as it unleashes its might upon Yorktown Battlefield – a reminder of battles fought long ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time; our imaginations ignited by stories of bravery and conquest. It is through such artifacts that we gain insight into our nation's heritage and appreciate those who came before us - shaping our present while leaving behind remnants of their own struggles and triumphs.
