EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable collection of letters and documents that bear the signatures of 54 out of the 55 delegates who participated in the historic Constitutional Convention of 1787. Executed with pen and ink on paper, this exquisite piece represents a pivotal moment in American history. The absence of George Mason's signature is the only missing link from this extraordinary assembly. The assortment includes additional documents related to the ratification debates, such as Benjamin Franklin's appointment of a commission for bankruptcy on July 20th, 1786. Each handwritten letter and autograph carries immense significance as they were penned by some of America's most revered founding fathers. With its intricate handwriting and historical context, this print offers an intimate glimpse into the minds and actions that shaped our nation's constitution. It serves as a testament to their dedication towards establishing a government rooted in principles like independence, law, and democracy. From James Smith to George Gilpin, these signatures represent not only political figures but also scientists like Benjamin Franklin himself. Their collective efforts laid down the foundation upon which modern-day America stands tall. As we admire this meticulously preserved piece from centuries past, it reminds us of our responsibility to honor their legacy by upholding the values enshrined within these pages – values that continue to shape our nation today.
