Picturing the Revolution
Picturing the Revolution will run from April 18th 2026 - January 3rd, 2027 in historic Deerfield, Massachusetts will showcase the American War for Independence. Drawing from Historic Deerfield’s rich collection of Revolutionary-era materials, this exhibition explores the diverse ways that 18th-century individuals “pictured” or understood the Revolution as it unfolded. Looking across prints, drawings, maps, broadsides, portraits, powder horns, ceramics, and satirical cartoons, picturing the Revolution highlights how images shaped local and global perceptions of the war. Mining these complex visual records reveals the often-overlooked importance of pictures in the shift from revolt to revolution, and in envisioning a future for the new nation. This exhibition has been made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism.
