Additional Information
Published in 1819, this striking portrait of John Hancock was engraved by James Barton Longacre after an original painting by celebrated colonial artist John Singleton Copley. Created for John Binns' acclaimed facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, the work captures the founding father whose bold signature became synonymous with American liberty.
Born in 1737 in Braintree, Massachusetts, Hancock inherited one of colonial New England's largest mercantile fortunes from his uncle Thomas Hancock. His vocal opposition to British taxation—particularly following the seizure of his sloop Liberty in 1768—transformed the wealthy merchant into a leading figure in the revolutionary independence movement.
As president of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, Hancock presided over deliberations that produced the Declaration of Independence, affixing his famously oversized signature on August 2, 1776. He subsequently served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts, championing ratification of the United States Constitution during the Commonwealth's formative years.
This remarkable 1819 engraving offers a powerful window into the revolutionary generation that forged American independence, capturing one of its most prominent champions through Longacre's masterful craftsmanship. The work creates an indelible connection between the founding era and the present, making it a notable addition to any collection celebrating the American republic.
