Paul Revere's "View of the Obelisk Erected under Liberty-Tree in Boston on the Rejoicings for the Repeal of the Stamp Act. 1766" Historical Etched Facsimile, 1881
1881 Vintage documented historic facsimile reproduction Engraved Print of Paul Revere's Engraved, "View of the Obelisk Erected under Liberty-Tree in Boston on the Rejoicings for the Repeal of the Stamp Act. 1766", Choice Very Fine.
This historic facsimile reproduction is well documented in the reference, PAUL REVERE'S ENGRAVINGS, by Clarence Brigham, copyright 1954, 1969 pages 30-31, by the American Antiquarian Society. A facsimile is a copy or reproduction of an item of historical value that is as true to the original source as possible. Brigham states:
"In 1881 two Boston antiquarians, R.D. Child and A.O. Crane, discovered the (Paul Revere engraved copper-plate) plate in Connecticut, and issued a facsimile reproduction. This was published, as they state in their circular, in three forms... Child was Richard D. Child who liked antiquarian matters, and Crane was Albert O. Crane who conducted an art and bric-a-brac store on Washintgon Street, was especially interested in Revere, and often helped Mr. Goss in preparing the Revere biography. The publishers, in issuing their facsimile, omitted the defects, although they retained the reversed letters on the left margin. The Antiquarian Society has examples of all the restrikes."View of "THE OBELISK, 1766" Erected under Liberty-Tree in Boston on the Rejoicings (sic) for the Repeal of the Stamp Act. Etched printing plate, 1766; restrike, 1881. In 1766 Paul Revere designed an obelisk to be erected under the "Liberty Tree" in Boston to celebrate the repeal of the Stamp Act, the principal incitement to rebellion in the American Colonies. Revere engraved a Copper-Plate for printing with the text and images of the Obelisk, which were mainly common motifs of the culture of the American colonies. The figure of "Liberty" appears twice in the image: in the left panel as a "Winged Woman" holding her Staff with the Liberty Cap on top, and also in the right panel as a "Maiden" in contemporary dress with her Staff and Liberty Cap, accompanied by Britannia, and also by America represented in several panels as a classic Indian Maiden. This example is well printed on its full original thin wove paper sheet, folded, one tiny pinhole at centerfold, overall clean sharp and ready for framing and display. A scarce, historic and well documented quality print being the first example we seen and offered.
