Middletown CT. 1970. Acrylics on masonite. 7 1/4 x 5 1/4. Reed has produced a marvelous rendition of Paul Revere’s famous engraving of British war ships blockading Boston Harbor -- a harbinger of the American Revolution. A partial view of the city shows church steeples and the cupola of Faneuil Hall. The calligraphic message satirically dedicates the print to the Earl of Hillsborough.
