EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. The engraving, created by Alonzo Chappel in 1828-87, depicts the esteemed Committee responsible for this monumental task: Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Livingston, and Sherman. As they gather around a table adorned with quills and inkwells, their determined expressions reveal the weighty responsibility they bear. The year is 1776 - a time when America was on the cusp of independence from British rule. These visionary leaders are deep in thought as they craft a document that will forever change the course of history. Benjamin Franklin's wisdom shines through his furrowed brow while Thomas Jefferson's pen hovers over parchment paper filled with revolutionary ideas. John Adams' intense gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to freedom while Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman contribute their expertise to shape this historic declaration. Together, these men embody the spirit of unity and resilience that would define not only America but also inspire nations across the globe. Published by Johnson, Wilson & Co in 1880 as part of "History of the World" by Evert A Duyckinck. , this digitally cleaned image transports us back to an era where ideals were forged into words that would ignite a revolution.
