Chances are, you’ve seen countless reproductions of this famous image – but did you know that an original engraving of Paul Revere’s well-known print is currently on display in the special exhibition, Whose Revolution? The print depicts the events of March 5, 1770, when growing tensions between soldiers and civilians escalated until soldiers of the 29th regiment fired into a crowd, killing 5 men. Based on an engraving by Henry Pelham, Revere’s print portrayed Captain Preston giving orders to fire and the soldiers firing in unison, an act refuted by most witnesses. Revere’s print helped to influence public opinion before the trial of the British soldiers and shaped later myths about what would become known as the “Boston Massacre.” Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see this original print. The Bloody Massacre, 1770. Concord Museum Collection, Gift of Margaret Urquhart, The Robert T. and Ruby N. Priddy Fund of Communities Foundation of Texas, and anonymous donor; 2002.13 (fb)
