• DESCRIPTION: A fine small engraving taken from John Trumbull's painting. Engraved by I.W. Baumann.<br><br> John Trumbull worked on the painting for this iconic image for thirty three years. He began the painting at Thomas Jefferson’s residence in Paris, utilizing Jefferson’s first-hand accounts of the event. Jefferson also made a rough sketch of the assembly room at Independence Hall that Trumbull used. Trumbull dedicated himself to portraying from life as many of the forty-eight signers as he could, which is one of the reasons the painting was not completed until 1818.
