This print, entitled "Declaration of Independence," is an original color lithograph by the publishing firm Kurz & Allison, produced in celebration of the centennial of the United States. Illustrated in vibrant color, the American founding fathers are shown in Independence Hall, approaching the Declaration to sever the colonies from control of King George III and the British Crown. The composition is based on the famous history painting by John Trumbull, now in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C., and includes likenesses of 42 of the 56 signers along with 5 other significant figures who were present for the debates.
