DescriptionDrawing of a scene with men loading supplies for the Revolutionary War. Two men are standing in the foreground. One of the men is wearing a military uniform, and the other man is probably meant to be Governor Jonathan Trumbull. The two are looking on while several other men who are wearing tri-corner hats and colonial style clothing are loading crates and barrels onto a cart pulled by oxen. There are wood-frame buildings and more carts or wagons in the background.
