After P.J. Rothermel, Engraved by Alfred Jones (1819-1900)
Printed by the Art Union of Philadelphia
Alfred Jones was an English engraver who is best known for his illustration for the commemorative 1890 stamp of Thomas Jefferson. This engraving is after a painting at Red Hill, in the collection of the Patrick Henry Memorial foundation, showing Henry giving the speech in which he proclaims, “If this be treason, make the most of it.” The Art Union of Philadelphia produced prints of American historical depictions to encourage appreciation for American Art, and engravings like this would be purchased through a subscription to the Union.
