EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the Statue of Jefferson, a remarkable piece of art created by David Michelin in 1840. The statue itself is an exquisite plaster representation of Thomas Jefferson, one of America's founding fathers and the author of the Declaration of Independence. In this lithograph, we see Jefferson depicted holding the very document that he penned with such profound impact on American history. Commissioned by Uriah Phillips Levy, a naval officer and prominent New York real estate investor who deeply admired Jefferson, this sculpture stands as a testament to both Levy's admiration for the former president and his dedication to preserving American heritage. The attention to detail in capturing Jefferson's likeness is truly impressive. The lithograph provides us with a glimpse into history through its intricate engraving technique. It measures 12x6 cm and resides in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection - Jackson Collection of American Lithographs. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Thomas Jefferson's significant contributions but also how art can serve as a powerful medium for honoring our nation's past. This image serves as an enduring symbol of patriotism and reverence for those who shaped our great nation.
