EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "A chart of the east coast of America and the Gulf Stream" printed by none other than Benjamin Franklin himself in 1786. This meticulously crafted chart provides a fascinating glimpse into the colonial era, depicting the intricate details of America's seaboard and its relationship with the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Benjamin Franklin, renowned as one of America's founding fathers, was not only an influential statesman but also a polymath with diverse interests. Here, his expertise in oceanography shines through as he accurately maps out crucial features such as rivers, coasts, and even Nova Scotia. The inclusion of the Great Lakes further emphasizes his comprehensive understanding of North American geography. The highlight undoubtedly lies in Franklin's depiction of the powerful Gulf Stream - a significant maritime current that greatly influenced trade routes during this period. Its presence on this chart underscores its importance to both seafarers and coastal communities alike. As we delve into this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since those early days when thirteen colonies were still striving for independence. This print is not just an exquisite representation; it is also a testament to Benjamin Franklin's multifaceted genius and enduring legacy within American history.
