Illustration


This illustration was created to evoke the look of 18th century woodcuts in portraying the landing of British troops at Long Wharf in Boston in 1768. I used hundreds of individual images taken from period woodcuts and adapted, retouched, assembled and combined them all to construct this view of the event, complete with inconsistent scale and perspective, but showing the Boston skyline and waterfront as it was in that momentous year. If you open the image in a new window, you'll get a larger view.
