The Declaration of Independence remains one of the most reprinted and influential documents in history, and five of the delegates were in charge of authoring the work. John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston are credited as the authors.
The Declaration of Independence was not just a local proclamation. It was distributed internationally, serving as a model for numerous similar claims in the following centuries,. Its influence was particularly felt during the twentieth century, when decolonization efforts swept across Africa. Many new nations gained sovereignty, breaking free from colonial rule by European powers such as Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands.
This engraving was completed by Native Massachusetts resident George Girdler Smith, who was born in 1795, the same year the Revolutionary War broke out,, and remains an enduring testament to the grandeur and importance that this document represents. Its classical style and reverent tone transport the viewer back in time, illustrating the historical significance of the Declaration of Independence.
