EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Join, or Die" cartoon, which holds immense historical significance as the first American political cartoon. Originally published by Benjamin Franklin in his renowned Pennsylvania Gazette in 1754, this powerful image continues to resonate with its message of unity and rebellion. The cartoon features a segmented serpent representing the thirteen colonies of America during that time. Each segment is labeled with the initials of a colony, emphasizing their individuality and diversity. However, what makes this artwork truly remarkable is its underlying call for solidarity among these colonies against external threats. As an emblematic symbol of the American Revolution and Franklin's persuasive skills as a writer and illustrator, this print captures an important moment in our nation's history. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it was for these disparate colonies to come together to fight for their shared values and freedoms. With its bold imagery and timeless message, this print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to reflect upon our revolutionary past while also inspiring us to stand united in times of adversity. It encapsulates Benjamin Franklin's visionary spirit and his role as one of America's founding fathers who played a pivotal role in shaping our nation's destiny.
