<b>Prints</b><hr><b>“THE DAWN OF LIBERTY” with General Gage by Max Rosenthal</b>

<b>THE DAWN OF LIBERTY,” by Max Rosenthal, Choice Extremely Fine.</b>
Lithograph, 18” x 23” with wide margins. Uncolored. Published by William Smith, Philadelphia, PA., 1864. An early American depiction, featuring a scene c. 1775 with British Gen. Gage, two uniformed British soldiers, a servant tending to the fireplace, and American Colonial Patriots meeting with him in his parlor, apparently having presented the General with a written petition. Printed at the bottom: “THE DAWN OF LIBERTY / General Gage said - The very children here draw in a love of liberty with the air they breathe - You may go my brave boyes, and be assured if my troops trouble you again they shall be punished.” A large, magnificent example.
