EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Leaders of the First Continental Congress, 1774" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Published around 1894 by Augustus Tholey, it showcases four prominent figures who played crucial roles in shaping the nation's destiny. Seated together with an air of determination and purpose are John Adams, Gouverneur Morris, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. These esteemed statesmen gathered at Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26,1774. Their meeting marked the birth of a united front against British oppression and set the stage for the American War of Independence. Each figure exudes strength and intelligence as they engage in deep conversation about their vision for a new nation. John Adams (1735-1826), later becoming America's second president; Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816), known for his influential role in drafting the United States Constitution; Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), one of America's founding fathers and first Secretary of Treasury; and Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), author of the Declaration of Independence. This historic print captures not only their physical presence but also their unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy. It serves as a reminder that these men were instrumental in laying down the foundations upon which our great nation was built.
