EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print takes us back to the historic moment of the drafting of the United States Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1776. The artist, Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, beautifully captures the intensity and significance of this pivotal event in American history. The scene is set in a grand room where notable figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams are gathered around a large table covered with documents. Each individual is deeply engrossed in their work, diligently writing and discussing ideas that would shape the future of a nation. The postcard format adds an interesting layer to this artwork as it transports us to early 20th century America when this image was widely circulated. It serves as a reminder of how important these historical events were even decades later. As we gaze at this print, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by the intellect and determination displayed by these politicians and scientists who were instrumental in shaping our country's destiny. Their dedication to freedom and democracy resonates through time. This artwork not only commemorates an important moment but also reminds us that history is made through collaboration and collective effort. It stands as a testament to the power of words written on paper - words that continue to guide our nation today.
