EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "JOIN OR DIE CARTOON, 1754" which holds immense historical significance as the first American political cartoon. Originally published by Benjamin Franklin in his Pennsylvania Gazette in 1754, this artwork represents a pivotal moment in colonial America during the 18th century. The image features a powerful and thought-provoking illustration of a serpent divided into eight segments, each representing a different colony. The message conveyed is clear: unity among these colonies is essential for their survival and success. The bold text "JOIN OR DIE" serves as both an urgent call to action and a warning against division. Benjamin Franklin's creation of this cartoon was driven by his desire to rally support for the Albany Plan of Union, which aimed to unite all thirteen colonies under one central government. Although this plan did not come to fruition at that time, it laid the groundwork for future discussions on American independence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of the visionary thinking and determination displayed by our founding fathers. This image symbolizes their unwavering commitment to forging a united nation that would eventually become known as the United States of America.
