Original oil painting by Alton S. Tobey for an illustration in Volume 3 of The Golden Book History of the United States (pp. 198 - 199). "Floating" in a solid wood frame made by hand for this specific painting.

We'll include the Golden Book volume with your painting, too.

A few years ago when I was reading Revere's various accounts of what happened, I was surprised to read what sounds like something very contemporary, which is at the end of this colorful passage:

". . . in an instant I saw four of them, who rode up to me, with their pistols in their hands, said G-d d-n you stop. If you go an Inch further, you are a dead Man . . . we attempted to git thro them, but they kept before us, and swore if we did not turn in to that pasture, they would blow our brains out . . ."

The role of the signals conveyed by the lanterns is sometimes misunderstood. Here's the explanation from the Paul Revere Museum:

"Revere contacted an unidentified friend (probably Robert Newman, the sexton of Christ Church in Boston’s North End) and instructed him to hold two lit lanterns in the tower of Christ Church (now called the Old North Church) as a signal to fellow Sons of Liberty across the Charles River in case Revere was unable to leave town.

"The two lanterns were a predetermined signal stating that the British troops planned to row 'by sea' across the Charles River to Cambridge, rather than march 'by land' out Boston Neck."

You can read their longer explanation here.

You may also be interested in the beautiful and extraordinarily accurate reproduction of the lantern that we have.

Shipping

For shipments to addresses within the U.S. (scroll down for International shipping)

Flat-rate shipping: Regardless of the number of items you order, the shipping price for shirts, caps, unframed prints and posters, bracelets, lapel pins, pendants, and button packs is $5.95.

For hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets, the shipping cost is $8.95.

Our flat rate shipping means you can add two or more t-shirts, sweatshirts, or caps for no additional shipping charge.

Note that some large or heavy items, including larger framed prints, may have a different shipping charge or a shipping surcharge. When they do, it will be noted on the product page.

Timing

We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.

We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.

We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.

If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping.

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Additional notes:

When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.
