EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Representation of the Federal Chariot" a remarkable cover illustration from Bickerstaff's Boston Almanack, published in 1788. Created by the American School in the 18th century, this woodcut artwork is housed at the prestigious American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The image depicts George Washington and Benjamin Franklin seated triumphantly within the Federal Chariot, symbolizing the harmonious union achieved by these states. Drawn by thirteen freemen, representing each state of America at that time, it signifies their collective strength and unity. In his hand, Washington holds a powerful representation of American independence - the grand Fabric of American Independence - which is none other than the Federal Constitution itself. With great pride and reverence for their freeborn brethren -the Sons of Columbia- he offers this significant document to ensure liberty and prosperity for all. This allegorical masterpiece beautifully captures North America's journey towards nationhood. The intricate details and symbolism invite viewers to reflect upon America's historical significance as well as its ongoing pursuit of freedom and democracy. Displayed here with courtesy from Bridgeman Images on behalf of the American Antiquarian Society, this extraordinary piece serves as a timeless reminder of our shared heritage and aspirations as Americans. It stands not only as an artistic treasure but also as a testament to our enduring values that have shaped our great nation throughout history.
