Detailed explanation-1: -The Bostonian silversmith-engraver Revere made this print in response to a violent confrontation between local residents and British troops on March 5, 1770.
Detailed explanation-2: -Designed to serve as Patriot propaganda, Revere’s engraving was a baldly biased depiction of the event. Instead of a chaotic scrum with violence on both sides, it showed an organized and sneering line of British soldiers firing on unarmed innocents in response to obvious orders from Captain Thomas Preston.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere is a 1931 painting by the American artist Grant Wood. It depicts the American patriot Paul Revere during his midnight ride on April 18, 1775. The perspective is from a high altitude as Revere rides through a brightly lit Lexington, Massachusetts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pelham may have allowed Revere to borrow the engraving, but when Revere started selling it, Pelham accused him of stealing his work and profiting from it. Revere is thought to have hired a man named Christian Remick to add color to the engraving.
